Windows 10 download without my permission

Hello,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community Forums.

You might have received a notification on your system to upgrade to Window 10 and after clicking on that notification it might have initiated the process to upgrade to Windows 10.

And there is no mechanism which checks the Internet Connection is Capped or not.

For more information on Windows 10 I would suggest you to refer to the links given below.

Yes I accepted the invitation a while back. Today I went in and downloaded some optional updates and unclicked Windows 10 from the list. I also did not click the agreement to terms, I closed it without a reply. Later I clicked to wait 2 days, and saved that choice. I wanted to do a backup etc before I did the upgrade. Next thing I see on my screen is "Upgrading Windows Sit Back and Relax", 9% complete with no way to stop it. I am looking forward to Windows 10, but I am traveling, and using wifi, and now my pc is unusable until this is complete.

Based on the details of your situation, litigation regarding this problem falls on the company that issues you the fee—and the source which potentially acted as a third-party medium to it.

Basically, we are all responsible for our own usage of our devices and service. When something like what you're explaining goes wrong, we have to reason with our provider to get granted a pardon and courtesy.

A good example of this would be overdraft fees from the bank. When you get an overdraft fee, the company or service that instigated that overdraft holds no liability on the issue no matter what. It our responsibility, and even in the event that someone steals our personal information and makes a false charge on our account that leads to an overdraft—it all comes down to the bank who issued the charge to pardon us of it.

I understand that you're upset, but I'm just trying to help guide you in the right direction to resolve this issue. You should speak with your ISP, explain what happened—be very polite—and see if they will pardon this overage fee as a courtesy to you. 

This has happened to my parents as well.  Today they alone one of their laptops has downloaded 3+ gigs for the windows 10 upgrade and they have not even reserved a copy of it.  They are on a Verizon hot spot and are now looking at 60+ dollars for overage fees.

Windows updates have been turned off on these laptops.  How are they still getting this download if it has not been authorized?
