It’s really crafty and nasty. And it also allows users to go through the process without requiring admin access.
We needed to stay on Windows 10 for a few reasons at work. I had a few users tell me this or that broke and they could no longer use this function. Remoted on and found the computer was somehow updated to Windows 11. Users swore it was not their doing. I know what happened; it’s an update screen that has a decline at the very bottom corner far from the button to allow the update to proceed that most users don’t see so they are being intentionally misled by Microsoft to think they have no choice but to accept the update. And worse is that none of these users were admins. So what the fuck, Microsoft?!
It’s so infuriating and disgusting.
Thankfully we can now move to Windows 11 without issue, but that was a really frustrating time to be an admin and Microsoft deserves every bad thing that comes of users getting upset over this. Hopefully lawsuits to lose some money over it.
To be fair that seems like a group policy setting that wasn't set.
I'm not an admin but don't they keep changing them so that you can't prevent these updates with group policy alone.
