Windows 10 Automatic Updates Start Causing Problems
Last week Microsoft MSFT -0.3% confirmed every Windows 10 update will mandatory and installed automatically. This was met with a hostile reception from Forbes readers with over 100 comments on my news article voicing their concern. And now some of those fears have been realised…
With just four days left before launch, Windows 10's policy of automatic updates has run into its first major problem and it is causing many PCs to stop working correctly.
Dreadful Drivers
The flaw revolves around Nvidia graphics cards with users taking to Nvidia's forums to report Windows Update is automatically installing new drivers which break multimonitor setups, SLI (dual card) configurations and can even stop PCs booting entirely which pushes Windows 10 into its emergency recovery mode.

I was going to be their guinea pig today and downloaded their software, but you must wait for them to send you the free key they offered! Wonder how long that will take?? Better be by July 1st though, otherwise I'm going to lose my enthusiasm for this whole upgrade thing.[I figured it out, but by then it just skipped that menu anyway. You use your OLD product key, obviously, right!! However, install is a NO-GO. It just wouldn't install, even though the machine was already vetted prior to install as being compatible. Some bleed here!]

a waste of paper.
...within a virtual machine. If the new OS is buggy, I just revert back to the previous VM snapshot and I'm good again.Hmm, I haven't launched my Windows 7 or 8.1 VM in a while now. I should go check to see if MS forces the update on me. They probably will under 8.1 because I signed up for 10 when it releases.

Win 7 Pro is working just fine. Think I'll keep it for awhile.
