    still there will be a microsoft salesbot on yer desktop everyday offering Windows12 now with more of whatever you clicked on last and 90 day office 365 sub for free (may require a credit card to unlock), etc, etc., its a treadmill with a new version dangling in front of your eyes and a crater full of malware and bad actors behind you if you fall off the treadmill there be gators in the waters unless you land on Linux Island and its motley crew..

    You can force the ESU enrolment option to appear in Settings -> Update if you're on a fairly updated version of Windows 10:

    Quoting abbodi86 from this thread:

    run Windows Powershell as administrator, copy and paste the following:

    Code:
    & reg.exe add "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Policies\Microsoft\FeatureManagement\Overrides" /v 4011992206 /t REG_DWORD /d 2 /f
    $TN = "ReconcileFeatures"; $TP = "\Microsoft\Windows\Flighting\FeatureConfig\"; $null = Enable-ScheduledTask $TN $TP
    Start-ScheduledTask $TN $TP; while ((Get-ScheduledTask $TN $TP).State.value__ -eq 4) {start-sleep -sec 1}; "Task Completed"
    #
    $TN = "UsageDataFlushing"; $TP = "\Microsoft\Windows\Flighting\FeatureConfig\"; $null = Enable-ScheduledTask $TN $TP
    Start-ScheduledTask $TN $TP; while ((Get-ScheduledTask $TN $TP).State.value__ -eq 4) {start-sleep -sec 1}; "Task Completed"
    #
    restart the system

    then run this in Command Prompt as administrator:

    Code:
    cmd /c ClipESUConsumer.exe -evaluateEligibility
    reg.exe query "HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows\ConsumerESU"
    If the result isn't 0x0, then you should see the enrolment option.

    As long as MS drops zero day patches for win 10 -- i will stay with it.

    They always did.

    I usually download these patches with external services, which directly grab them from MS update API, otherwise windows update will install crap on my system.

    Most of the windows updates are just bloat und make the system resource hungry or they alter settings, which i deactivated manual.
