Microsoft forces updates on home users
 

Software king of the world Microsoft has had enough of people not updating their home computers.

Now on Windows 10 it is forcing updates on them whether they want them or not.

The company has confirmed that comsumer users of Windows 10 will have to agree to receive system updates automatically as part of the terms and conditions.

Automatic updating was the default behaviour in past versions of Windows, but now the updates will just happen in the background. Business users and IT departments will still have the option of disabling that.

Microsoft is clearly trying to work out a way to avoid Windows XP ever happening again, where no one upgraded anything for a decade. Microsoft tried to end support for the now-ancient operating system but had to push the date back because there were still so many instances of XP running.
