Confirmed: Windows 10 Home users to receive forced updates

About two months ago rumors came up that updates could become mandatory for machines running editions of Microsoft's Windows 10 operating system.

Details were scarce at the time but it was clear that Microsoft intended to use different update channels based on Windows 10 editions.

It appears that forced updates have been confirmed now through two different sources. If you have installed the RTM build of Windows 10 10240 you have accepted the EULA displayed to you on first start of the system.

If you took the time to read through it you may have stumbled upon a passage detailing system updates.


The Software periodically checks for system and app updates, and downloads and installs them for you.

You may obtain updates only from Microsoft or authorized sources, and Microsoft may need to update your system to provide you with those updates.

By accepting this agreement, you agree to receive these types of automatic updates without any additional notice.

This seems to confirm Microsoft's intention to deploy updates on user systems automatically and without further notification.
