Moderators hazelnut Posted June 25, 2015 Moderators Share Posted June 25, 2015 The fallout from Samsung's ill-judged decision to block Windows Update from running on some of its notebooks continues as Microsoft issues a statement condemning the practice. http://www.zdnet.com/article/microsoft-responds-to-samsung-disabling-windows-update/ Support contact https://support.ccleaner.com/s/contact-form?language=en_US&form=general or support@ccleaner.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators mta Posted June 25, 2015 Moderators Share Posted June 25, 2015 Hmmmm, may be a useful tool to stop the auto update feature on Win10 Backup now & backup often.It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.Three things are certain; Birth, Death and loss of data. You control the last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
login123 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 According to Patrick, the following are true. here: http://bsodanalysis.blogspot.ie/2015/06/samsung-deliberately-disabling-windows.html "... WU kept getting randomly reset to "Check for updates but let me choose whether to download or install them" (Which I would prefer) and"Do note that it does check for a Samsung environment, and if one is not detected, the program will in general run really buggy." Ahhh well. . . The CCleaner SLIM version is always released a bit after any new version; when it is it will be HERE :-) Pssssst: ... It isn't really a cloud. Its a bunch of big, giant servers.

Moderators rridgely Posted June 26, 2015 Moderators Share Posted June 26, 2015 And this is why I try to avoid buying prebuilt pcs whenever possible, or when I do I just factor in the cost of a new windows license. I no longer use the built in windows install on any laptops that I buy(I build my own desktops) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy2 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I can't come up with a reason why Samsung would do this ? Don't they see that this, in the long run, would hurt Samsung ? Did they develop their own new Operating System ? Is this a devious scheme to force users buy, paid for, updates ? Is Samsung seeking a larger income stream ? Does Samsung hate Windows ? System setup: http://speccy.piriform.com/results/gcNzIPEjEb0B2khOOBVCHPc A discussion always stimulates the braincells !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted June 26, 2015 Moderators Share Posted June 26, 2015 Samsung hate Windows ? I doubt that many computer manufacturers "love" them. If the Windows Update drivers cause such havoc I wonder why Samsung doesn't just offer some specialized Linux build for their laptops - but anyone who's ever updated knows to avoid those drivers on the Windows Update site since they are know to cause issues and break s**t.

Moderators hazelnut Posted June 27, 2015 Author Moderators Share Posted June 27, 2015 “Samsung has a commitment to security and we continue to value our partnership with Microsoft,” a Samsung spokesperson told VentureBeat. “We will be issuing a patch through the Samsung Software Update notification process to revert back to the recommended automatic Windows Update settings within a few days. Samsung remains committed to providing a trustworthy user experience and we encourage customers with product questions or concerns to contact us directly at 1-800-SAMSUNG.” Looks like they had a change of heart http://venturebeat.com/2015/06/26/samsung-will-patch-its-software-to-stop-disabling-windows-update-within-a-few-days/ Support contact https://support.ccleaner.com/s/contact-form?language=en_US&form=general or support@ccleaner.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
