How To Stop Win 10 Auto-Update
« on: June 05, 2016, 10:57:43 am »
I've heard this forced update will happen for all PC's unless you cancel it by end of June.
This is especially important for those of you with laptops as the update may screw your drivers and render your machine inoperable.

Find "Get Windows 10" in the System Tray
Right click on it
Select "Check your upgrade status"
A new window will appear
From here you can click to change install schedule or cancel the update
It's only scary until you realize that you are running toward the chasm deliberately.

If Windows says it has scheduled your update, do not click the "X" on the dialog to close it.  You have to click the tiny little "here" link to cancel the update.

Easier way: Download and run:
