Prompt to Install Windows 8.1 Will NOT Go Away!
I booted up this morning and when I opened the first program, I was greeted with the prompt to install Windows 8.1. That may not be a bad thing for those who want Windows 8.1, but I don't. At least not until the bugs are killed off.
However, having said that, there was absolutely no way to shut that prompt off. The only two options were Install and Remind Me Later. This is not the first time I've gotten that prompt that cannot be told to just go away and not come back. Since I was forced to click on Remind Me Later, the blasted thing will be ba-a-ack!
I may be just ranting and raving here, because I don't think Microsoft intends to allow me to update within my own time frame . . . but . . .
Has anyone succeeded in keeping this prompt from appearing?
Thanks in advance.
