Comment on Microsoft Is Downloading 6GB of Windows 10 Updates Without User’s Consent

Comments

It seems Microsoft's position is that if a user has auto-updates on, they have consented to downloading the installer for Windows 10.

The default selection is to download and install updates automatically. You'd think they would check for available disk space beforehand though.

Is there a reason Windows just lets you run out of disk space? On Linux when I'm downloading something and come close to running out of space the download stops and I get an alert saying I need to delete something.

That's the program doing that, not the OS.
