I've seen a few posts concerning Windows 10 more or less hijacking computers. Since I experienced the same problem I want to share how to fix it. By no way is this an endorsement or recommendation for the product Im about to mention, its just what I found to be the easiest solution and its free. We all like free things don't we. Those who have operating Windows operating systems other than Windows 10 have probably been seeing pop ups offering Windows 10 free. This offering comes via your normal Windows update which most people have set in their settings as "automatic". I have not chosen Windows 10. Then last week by computer booted up and told me that Windows 10 was ready to down load. Since I didn't want it I searched for a button to decline. After some manipulation I was able to close that Window. Then it happened again so I pushed the download and it began going to the User Agreement which I declined and the download stopped. Doing some research I discovered that if your are computer literate you can go into the Windows Update and remove and hid the particular update that has Windows 10. As you can probably guess, not being that computer literate I followed the directions and was able to remove one update, but it didn't help. There was another one that you were suppose to hide, but I couldn't find it. So, I opted to do a web search and found a free download that is safe and recommended by the "computer guys". It did the trick, No more problem on two of my computers. If you are computer literate you can do a web search and discover how to get rid of the Windows 10 upgrade offer. If not take a look at GWX Control Panel. It is very easy to use and solves the Windows 10 problem. You'll find it on the web for free and is a just a few seconds to download and a few minutes use and your done.
I suppose I could rant about Microsoft's elitist attitude in their trying to force Windows 10 on the consumer, but won't. I hope this solution works for you.
