It happened to day. Windows 10 forced its self on my computer. It was not consensual.  :cry

If you blindly allow the Windows auto-updater to run, you have given consent for Windows 10 to be installed as it is now considered to be a regular update from Microsoft.

It is trivial to prevent that update from happening.

I used to have my system auto updating but after a spate of having to roll back because the updates trashed my computer I started checking all updates before I installed.
