Aren't all Windows Update packages optional? This is what I see when I look at Windows update on 8.1 (I think 7 had similar options): http://imgur.com/MxRVZ94 h

As someone else mentioned, to support the enterprise Microsoft makes updates piecemeal and optional.
- speeder 11y agoI had Windows 8 here, Windows 8.1 force-installed itself, I found no way to opt out, or even to control when to update, I was working one day and it suddenly decided to shut me out and update itself to 8.1, there was no "cancel" or "wait" button. So, MS already pulled a stunt like that recently, why they would not do it again, specially if they want people to use some shiny new tech part of their 3e strategy?
- akoeplinger 11y agoNo, the upgrade to 8.1 needs to be explicitly kicked off through the Store: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/update-from-windows-8-tutorial http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/update-from-win...
- speeder 11y agoThis is CERTAINLY not happened to me. Because I DIDN'T want Windows 8.1 installed, at all.
