If you remember, I brought this subject up when it was just rumors regarding different update channels for W10 users, and the ability to delay updating only being allowed for premium and business users.

If you take the time to review the EULA for W10 build 10240, you’ll find:

“The Software periodically checks for system and app updates, and downloads and installs them for you.

You may obtain updates only from Microsoft or authorized sources, and Microsoft may need to update your system to provide you with those updates.

By accepting this agreement, you agree to receive these types of automatic updates without any additional notice.” – EULA

Also,

“Customers who are embracing Current Branch for Business do need to consume that feature update within the allotted time period of approximately eight months or they will not be able to see and consume the next security update.”- Helen Harmetz, Microsoft Senior Product Marketing Manager

It’s also unclear whether users will be able to remove updates after they’re installed. Only time will tell.

Clearly, updates can break things…especially if there’s no way for the individual to test them before before installing. The “Insider Program” was designed to prevent this, but I haven’t run into a “fool proof” mechanism yet.

It is important to note that users of the current 10240 can disable updates, but it isn’t clear if that method will work in the RTM. Also, if this is disabled in the current 10240, it breaks the Windows Store functionality. Personally, from what MS has put out so far, I don’t think that’ll work in the RTM and may well violate the EULA for the RTM.

So, what’s your position on forced updates?
