I've heard some others saying micro-soft can force updates out.. BUT not anything about 'your update settings changing like that.
Has anyone else experienced something of that nature???
PS Mods if this is in the wrong forum, move it to the correct spot.

yes they *tried* to do that with a forced update of windows 10 when I was on win7. they changed the update settings. so, win update sees you're still on win 8.1,
it'll change the update settings on you until you update to win10.
theres a software the prevented win updates from being forced to a different setting.
forget the name, but do a search. I posted the name of the software that does the job.
Microshaft/Windows??
