I truly believe windows 8 is the worst OS they have ever made. I contacted MS customer support as well as my laptop manufacturer and they both told me the same bs that I've read on the net and tried already. (I'm glad I did too, 'cuz sure enough Nov 3rd my laptop forced updated itself yet again (and tonight as well). I got so mad last month I went out and bought a ps3 so that I could play the new COD:AW when it was released and not have to worry about loosing my early access because my laptop wouldn't turn on. All I used my laptop for was my steam games and now its not even worth installing steam then my games just to have to redo it a few days later. I'm sick of it and am most likely going to just start upgrading my linux desktop and say F windows on the laptop and put a new OS on there as well.
I have tried everything I have found on the internet in the past 2months. Then 5hrs later I am back up and running for about 2days 3 if I'm lucky then the force update starts all over. After turning on and off the laptop a bunch of times in a row it slows down the reboot enabling me the right amount of time to hit the shift/F11 key and have it actually let me reset my computer. Every 3 days my laptop force updates, fails, reverts, gets stuck trying to revert.
I've had the same problem with the reverting changes for 2months now.
