In win10, you cannot disable windows updates
you can only postpone them.
They will always download in background

OMG...Then I'm never able to use my 3G Data Card....

Disable the windows update service.

You can assign the internet connection as a metered connection and then it will not download.

Windows 10 app not showing windows 10 available for download but when go to windows updates there windows 10 available ?should i update

Use this.

Download the file and use it to install win 10.
Make sure you "upgrade to windows 10" and not do a fresh install(If you attempt this then your windows will not activate).
Also if you're having the problem "something happened" then change your system locale language to English(United States).

I used this method and Windows 10 is working flawlessly.

Yeah I was intending to use it but too lazy to search, thanks for this bro

Confirmed: Windows 10 Home users to receive forced updates - gHacks Tech News

In addition to that, Helen Harmetz, Microsoft Senior Product Marketing Manager, confirmed recently that Windows 10 Pro users would not be able to delay updates indefinitely without serious consequences either.

Customers who are embracing Current Branch for Business do need to consume that feature update within the allotted time period of approximately eight months or they will not be able to see and consume the next security update.

If Pro users don't install certain updates within eight months of release, they won't be able to install security updates anymore after that time period.

Did you check first post ? There is a new version of decryptor. Try that.

Whats the name of esd file ? And the size ?

install.esd 2.61GB

I used 4.x and 6.x versions. Also tried one in github.

Looks like they encrypted it again. Buggers.

I think you will have to wait till someone releases an updated version of the ESD Decrypter.

2 Things that are really bugging me :

1. Automatic updates..My previous experiences with updates always tell me : if all is well, avoid them..

2. Hardware Change : so it seems like if i do a hardware change ( like motherboard/gfx card/hdd change), i am no longer allowed for free upgrade unless i have a retail copy of win7/ 8.1( which i don't..OEM)..if my laptop's mobo/hdd is changed, then i can no longer use windows 10 & i have to shift back to 8.1 :/


P.S: is there any safe way to get windows key from oem laptops ?

You can contact microsoft in case of hardware changes.

Where can i get the latest drivers for Realtek ALC887 HD audio for Win 10 64 bit?I have an Asus p8 b75-V motherboard but at Asus' official website no win 10 compatible drivers are available for this motherboard yet.

update:i've discovered that on the product page for Asus H81-k which also features the Realtek ALC887,win 10 drivers are available for this audio chipset-will this driver work if i attempt to install it on my system even though i have a different motherboard?Is it likely to cause any issues or problems in the long run?
