None ever provide proof of spontaneous actions like this. My wife has been nagged by 10, and to this day, is still on 7. They are from the same people who claim they don't know what happened and did nothing when all that malware got on their machines.

I think part of the issue is when it comes up people aren't smart enough to realize that they can close the update box by hitting the X in the top right. They think they are forced into the upgrade. I made a Facebook post informing customers that they can still hit the X. I think Microsoft knows this and are being deceptive. What they need is a button that says I don't want to upgrade.

Until I actually see from some proof, I don't believe it one bit. Especially when my extremely computer illiterate wife is still on 7. It shouldn't be that hard to make it reproducible if it is actually a thing.

+Mirumir Subscriber¹ Posted March 20, 2016 Subscriber¹ Share Posted March 20, 2016 If you're having a hard time deleting $WINDOWS.~BT folder even after having changed the folder's permissions, use the disk cleanup tool -> clean up system files.
