   "Until now Windows 10 has allowed users to avoid downloading updates over metered (pay-per-byte) connections, to avoid racking up huge bills. Some users were setting their ethernet/wifi connections as metered in order to prevent Windows 10 from downloading and installing updates without their permission. In its latest preview version of the OS, Microsoft is now forcing some updates necessary for "smooth operation" to download even on these connections. As well as irritating users who want to control when updates download and install, users of expensive pay-per-byte connections could face massive bills."
   
   
   You have no control over the Windows 10 malware.

     @maiyannah The correct upgrade path away is to Xubuntu 16.04 or Ubuntu MATE 16.04.  There's a reason my $AGENCY employer is still on Win7.
