Windows 11 users blame Microsoft for forced updates

Windows updates are usually installed automatically when they become available, though you can trigger them manually by navigating through Windows 11’s Settings app and checking for available updates, which will start if available. While they can sometimes be controversial, automatic updates help with security patches, performance improvements, and feature enhancements — but you can still disable them if you want to.

Interestingly, there seems to be an increase in the number of reports upgraded to the latest version of Windows. And while it could be a bug or an issue with the settings, plenty of users affected have pointed the finger at Microsoft. IT expert Günther Born recently published a blog post that rounds up incidents of alleged forced Windows updates, which he called “too many coincidences.”
