Windows 10 Auto Update

If computers came with a required 2 hours of onsite setup, then things would also be different. Of course this would require at minimum another $150 to the average cost, and allowing someone access to your home.
Toilets don't require that. Yet people don't question needing a plumber to install it. Requiring it isn't the answer.

So instead of requiring onsite setup by a pro - why does the OS do this for you? As I mentioned above... Apple computers do.
They also have backups and cloud services built in, don't forget.

So does Linux and ChromeOS. Bottom line, Windows is for power users and if you choose a Power User platform but are not a power user or can't be bothered to get the assistance that you need it's your own fault. The options for systems that require less effort and knowledge are there, at some point the end user must be accountable for their decisions.
We are acting like the end users are four year olds or hamsters here or something and giving them no dignity or credit.

I honestly don't think you've met enough home users in the wild.

No but I have had several hamsters.

Considering they lived with you, I bet they did backups on their little hamster computers.

Don't you even - we had a thread about that and NTG needs a lot of hamsters to get a RAIHAM10 array up

Sadly this thing doesn't even require admin rights for the upgrade anymore. It assumes if you allow users to install updates you want to allow them to install upgrades
-
Can non-admin users install updates by default?

Default yes. You can lock it down by group policy as we do on some computers and all servers

But who lets end users do that? For home, sure. But for a business?

Everyone? Who doesn't allow users to install windows updates? You approve them by WSUS then let users install them and make them scheduled if they aren't installed within enough time. Otherwise and administrator has to login to apply the windows updates.

I've never seen an enterprise that left users to their own devices for installing desktop updates. But if they are filtered through WSUS, I could see that making sense. But in that case, it is jointly managed and the Windows 10 update would not be an issue again.

Does this apply even if you uninstalled KB 2952664 + KB 3035583?

If you're not using WSUS or some other package controlling software - I don't see another choice really - other than an admin running around desk to desk.

Exactly and it's not one.

Probably, I don't think anyone is even tracking what updates force this issue on people. But I think it's worse than that. New updates are themselves the upgrade, not an old one giving prompts to upgrade.

We've seen it pop up for two users that are work from home over softvpn.. granted that could just be a fluke with as many users as we have it's peanuts. and it didn't cause a single issue anyway aside from freak the users out so I heard from the technicians. they got some franktic calls. and thought they'd be pissed at them.

My thing is we have
shittyUSB devices that may become incompatible. That's my only real worry. Things like wireless AV Transmitters, Scanners, etc.
