Yeah, mine are off. I only get notified if they are available. Now that's one more pain in the pahooty - I have to vet all the updates first.
But the first linked article said to not install the KB3075249 and KB3080149 updates; well, they apparently downloaded & installed when I accepted the opportunity to have the upgrade at some point in the future, before I knew about all this.
So I uninstalled those two last night. They re-installed themselves! I un-installed them again, and went to bed. I'll have to see if they come back again tonight. I may have to go the full route outlined in the second link.
I'm wondering if I could get into M$ banking accounts and transfer $10 billion or so to my account - I'm not taking it, I'm just transferring it in case I need to take it... and keeping watch on what all they are doing with their finances in the meanwhile.
(Ok, maybe a poor analogy, but I could use a billion or two for retirement! Like a congressman chided his pork-barrel cohorts once - "C'mon guys! A billion here, a billion there - pretty soon we're talking real money!)
HumanDrone, after you uninstall those updates, they will show up again so make sure you "Hide" them. Do you know how to do that?
