Microsoft’s Get Windows 10 nagware shows signs of sentience

Dear Microsoft!

Unless you wish to subsidise my hardware, please stop messing with my computer.

Thank you.

Since the registry values are being changed, I wonder how effective a solution it is to "SCHTASKS /CREATE" a task to "REG ADD" all the values back in? I have just done this for the time being so I guess time will tell. I cannot think of a way to lock the value in the registry because of the privileges Windows Update has.

I had always told my friends in the past that Windows needs something like SELinux and this is one situation which would benefit from such a system. That way I can just write a rule to block a process from running. But I guess some Antivirus products have such a feature. Symantec has "Application Control" I think.

If anyone has any ideas, please tell!
