You can just use never10 of course. Its a simple toggle. Then you still get the regular normal windows updates. I have also uninstalled the nag update and hidden it. Not that hard to do. However on my machine which has windows 10/ classic shell on it, I wonder how one is supposed to review updates being offered. I've seen what is installed afterwards, but it seems pretty silent on the updates its quietly downloading and installing. The only time you notice is when you try to shut down and it spends ages fiddling about till it goes off.
I was wondering what happens when the anniversary update comes along next month. Is that machine going to get it and spend ages installing a new version without telling me I wonder? Brian

I know there's a free upgrade available, but it's the user's choice whether to accept it.
If Microsoft have stated that this will one day become a compulsory upgrade, please point me to any reference confirming this.

Hello,
Just for a little perspective, I'm running a Macbook Air with Windows 10 since about a month after Windows 10 came out, and of course, my screen access is NVDA. I'm quite happy with it.
What doesn't work, I just avoid. Even so, I think it works just fine.

For the record and reading some of the chatter elsewhere there seems to be several issues here. Firstly, the dodgy access does not just affect nvda, it tends to affect all the screenreaders. There is an inferred criticism from Microsoft that they should be using the new api developed for Edge etc, to get around these issues not the older uia or msaa. However as has been pointed out by manufacturers of the screenreaders, since the Edge api has been buggy and altered so often, it would mean continual updates of the screenreaders when it got broken, so best to use thedevil you know. The real issue from my point of view as an outsider is that Microsoft should have actually got this working properly before they unleashed the operating system at all, so its all their fault,but that is me saying that, and I'm not party to secret discussions behind the scenes. There has been and still is a rumour circulating that Windows will have its own inbuilt screenreader 'shortly'. However if the evolution seen or rather not seen in Narrator is anything to go by, its not even close yet. Maybe they are buying the rights to Window Eyes instead who knows.
I have one machine with 10 on it and it is not so much the lack of accessibility I find annoying but the way it seems to stop you doing many things you should be able to do as an admin in the past, and of course the reliance on those tonka toy designed ribbon menues. Brian

Hi all, Windows10 has been released for almost one year. Is this still the case?
Here is a quote from NV Access (Last update: 5 April 2016 00:25 UTC):
we recommend that most users delay upgrading to or purchasing a computer with Windows 10 until further notice. resource from: http://www.nvaccess.org/win10/

Are you suggesting that Microsoft will at some point forcibly upgrade people's machines from Windows 7 or 8 to Windows 10?
I know there's a free upgrade available, but it's the user's choice whether to accept it.
If Microsoft have stated that this will one day become a compulsory upgrade, please point me to any reference confirming this.
Thanks,
Antony.

Hello,
Just for a little perspective, I'm running a Macbook Air with Windows 10 since about a month after Windows 10 came out, and of course, my screen access is NVDA. I'm quite happy with it.
What doesn't work, I just avoid. Even so, I think it works just fine.
