Marvin Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 For others who don't trust any version x.0 of anyone -- my machine tried to force an upgrade on me this morning. It took almost 15 minutes to get loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Planning on sticking w/ 10 u til they stop supporting it, so would be unhappy (understatement) if they forced that switch now. Can rewind to a few days ago if necessary to undo it, but that's a hassle too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to patiently jump through a bunch of hoops. Each time, I had to wait for the system to do something and then ask something about the upgrade again. I am looking for a shortcut if it tries again. If I find one, I will post it here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the only way to control them is to turn off updates and then sort through what you want to allow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
