Microsoft Keep Hijacking my PC
Hi,
I have been having some issues recently with microsoft hijacking my laptop and updating whenever they want to. I have disabled all the auto updates that I could find but they still update without my permission and if that is not bad enough, this morning I was up early watching netflix because I couldn't sleep at around 4:30am while I was watching a movie I noticed that my laptop started up all by itself and proceeded to download the latest update. I will be honest, I am pretty peeved. The past week I have been online learning how to stop them auto updating and it appears to me that it doesn't matter what settings I choose, they turn my machine on while I am sleeping and sneak in the latest update.
This last update has also messed with the colours on my interface....what was once blue has now become this tacky baby cac brownish orange colour. Its hideous and I am not very happy about it. I have looked online to see if there is a fix for this but no response at all.
I will be honest here,, I am now looking at installing Linux instead as I am becoming increasingly suspicious of Microsofts activities with regards to my computer in the past 2 weeks. Privacy is a personal freedom and Microsoft seem hell bent on stripping those away from everybody. I don't know if Linux are better, seems to me they are all as bad as each other, microsoft, apple etc but I would like to think that Linux being open source software has more transparency and integrity?
Has anyone else had this problem?
