This is a double post, but I felt the need to “warn” 1803 users while asking “modern” Windows 10 users whether they had any idea what was going on, in the more active forums.
I installed Windows 10, 1803 in January 2020 as a means of using newer hardware that Windows 7 didn’t support (which turned out to be a non-issue as modded drivers permitted me to continue using it in the end anyway)
Since that time, I prevented it from updating entirely.
But just today I found out that it had updated to 21H2 on October 8th without my noticing (it’s my parents’ computer)
Is anyone else aware of what happened here?! I have tried SO hard to prevent Windows 10 from every updating, and seemed to have been successful for nearly 3 years now, despite being on Windows 10 Home.
What must I do to stop Microsoft and their grubby little hands from changing my desktop background and forcing Edge, Cortana, News, telemetry and other such nonsense on me everytime I turn around for half a second?
Any others still running 1803?
I see they were forcing updates in May of 2019 but like I said I’ve been without for nearly 3 years soo… that doesn’t seem like it should be a factor…?
