Microsoft must be feeling the heat when it comes to their attempts to get you to upgrade to Windows 10 by any means. You’ll recall that they changed to the pop up box that annoys you into upgrading to Windows 10 so that the red cross on the right hand corner of the pop-up box started the upgrade instead of closing the box. Here’s what Microsoft said to the BBC:
Microsoft told the BBC it had modified the pop-up two weeks ago as a result of criticism: “We’ve added another notification that confirms the time of the scheduled upgrade and provides the customer an additional opportunity for cancelling or rescheduling the upgrade.
“If the customer wishes to continue with their upgrade at the designated time, they can click ‘OK’ or close the notifications with no further action needed.”
Honestly, I don’t know what difference that makes. This is the same behavior that people are complaining about. From what I see, if you close this second-chance notification by clicking on “x” then it will still install Windows 10 according to the schedule. Thus nothing has really changed. It’s still as sleazy as ever.
