Microsoft has "invited" us to test its new Windows 10 operating system by active and passive. Through alert functions, covert system updates and even, without user permission, they have taken the liberty of storing the complete installation files on the hard drive despite the greater lack of interest in migrating to this environment.
Against all odds, Windows 10 has not been the system expected by many Windows 7 and Windows 8 / 8.1 users, who persist in keeping their computers on those versions. In order to all those who are not interested in migrating to this new environment offered by Microsoft, we have the program Never10 that we present to you today.
Never10 is a standalone software that does not require additional software. It is very easy to use and allows you to revert the changes that it does if at some point we were determined to make the leap.
Never10 works through a series of checks on the computer where certain Windows registry keys are modified to disable automatic updating of the system. Although it is a function that could be performed manually, Never10 makes it easy for us with a few mouse clicks.
After verifying the version of the operating system that we are running (Windows 7 or Windows 8 / 8.1, since they are the only ones capable of updating as such to this version of the operating system), check the version of the Windows Update client we are running. This is necessary because its edition must be after June 2015, when the possibility of deactivating the system update by modifying the Windows registry was introduced. In case of having to update said system component, Never10 will notify us before proceeding with any modification.
Then the program perform the registry modification task. Specifically, update two entries that control automatic updates to Windows 10. Disabling them prevents the change from occurring. As we commented at the beginning of the news, the process is fully reversible And if at any time we want to update our computer to Windows 10, it is as simple as running Never10 again so that it changes the values of these entries again.
You will see that the process is done quickly and with little intervention from the user. Since its launch, this software has grown in popularity and in its websites The more than 70000 downloads already stand out that has served so far. It is a good figure to indicate two things: that there are many users still happy with their old versions of Windows who are not willing to migrate to an environment with which they do not feel comfortable or are not convinced, and that Never10 is robust software .
More than half a year has passed since Windows 10 was released and it is normal for the slowdown to begin in the introduction of the new system. From now on, the company's statistics should show the acquisition of new equipment and, to a lesser extent, the updates of users to whom the Redmond company has wanted to impose its system.
