Microsoft faces a new lawsuit for updating computers without permission

Windows

Since the official release of the final version of Windows 10, in July 2015, Microsoft has tried its best to get users to quickly adopt the latest version of Windows, a version that throughout the first year was available for download for free. Many have been the techniques that Microsoft has used for users to take advantage of this offer, either through messages continuously in the operating system or by updating directly without the user's consent, since Windows 10 is downloaded automatically without the user. requested. These automatic updates have caused more than a headache for many users who have again decided to sue the Redmond-based company.

This new lawsuit brings together a group of users who affirm having lost all the information on your computer when automatically upgrading to Windows 10Without having previously checked the operation of the equipment, which has sometimes caused the equipment to stop working correctly or that some part of the computer, such as the hard disk, was damaged along the way. The complaint focuses on the refusal by Windows 10 to check how the computer will work with this new update.

Particularly I suffered the fact with contemplating this complaint in a Notebook with Windows 7 Starter. Overnight the team had been updated offering a performance, already in itself just with Windows 7 Starter, painful, wasting a lot of time to be able to carry out any process, no matter how simple it was. Microsoft has always shown that updates are not their thing.

The happy updates that, on the one hand, block the computer by installing automatically when it seems good, although the latest versions have improved this aspect, and forcing us to reboot once they have been updated, regardless of what we were doing, which forces us to stop working for the time necessary for the installation, which can sometimes be up to 30 minutes.
