Windows 10: Windows 10 restarts automatically when internet connects

Dear microsoft friends,


Recent returnee to Windows after 16 years of Apple. Thought it was time to try out the competition. Was more or less happy for a week, though 3 days ago my Lenovo 330s decided it was fun to start announcing it would restart every few minutes with one minute warning. Awesome.


As far as i can tell after some basic trouble-shooting, this occurs after I connect to the internet - wither WiFi or phone HotSpot.


Any ideas on how to fix this, or is it merely the ghost of Steve Jobs punishing me for switching sides?


best,


Chris

Microsoft to push automatic Windows 10 upgrades in 2016

"Microsoft has announced that Windows 10 will be automatically rolled out next year to all users of its older operating systems who have selected to receive updates.

Until now, users of Windows 7 and 8 have needed to register to upgrade to Windows 10. But that's about to change: soon the OS will be listed as an 'Optional Update' and -- from 2016 -- a 'recommended' update that will automatically install itself, if users have opted to receive updates in that way.*Shadedshun :shadedshu:

You can opt out of automatic updates to avoid this, but Microsoftsays that "we strongly discourage this in today’s connected world because of the constant risk of internet threats". You can also change your Windows Update settings to install critical updates but not recommended ones. Although it's still going to be possible to avoid installation, Microsoft seems quite determined for everyone to be using Windows 10 in near future.


The roll-out of reserved updates was initially staggered but, according to Microsoft, now Windows "will automatically kick off the upgrade process once you have made a reservation".

As an intermediate stage, Microsoft says that it will "soon" publish Windows 10 as an optional update, not installed by default, but accessible to all users."

Automatic connection to Internet via ADSL Modem in Windows 10.

Hi, Kumar!

I'm very glad that there is such an option in new Windows 10.

I have my driver updated (all the other drivers are shown as up-to-date), but to my pity, after restart my computer didn't establish automatic connection to Internet via modem. It was done as usual, manually, with time waste.

I'd be glad to fix it with your step-by-step instructions.

I would greatly appreciate your help with this big problem.

Have a good day!
