Microsoft Accused of Unwanted Windows Upgrades
6 Mar
Summary
- Users report Windows 11 and 10 systems updating automatically without initiation.
- Unwanted updates occur randomly, day or night, causing user disruption.
- Microsoft offers rollback within 10 days or update pauses for up to 5 weeks.
Recent reports suggest that Microsoft may be forcing users to upgrade to the latest Windows versions. Several individuals have documented instances where their PCs, running Windows 11 24H2, were unexpectedly updated to version 25H2 without user intervention. Additionally, there are reports of systems transitioning from Windows 10 to Windows 11 without the user initiating the process.
These unauthorized updates have been observed happening at various times, including overnight and during the day. While suspicions point towards Microsoft intentionally compelling these updates, the possibility of a widespread bug cannot be ruled out. For users seeking control over their system updates, Microsoft provides a 10-day window to roll back changes or offers the option to pause automatic updates for up to five weeks.
