Check out these images that show right now Microsoft is taking over my hard drive.
It's pegged at 100% utilization by some files Microsoft is downloading to my machine without even asking or even telling me.

The only reason I even know that it's microsoft and not some (other) virus is because I've wrote this DiscoFiles program and I started it up to see what was accessing my drive.

Thanks again Microsoft. For using my machine. Maybe you can tell me when you'll be done. I was going to do something on my computer but you know best.

My machine is an i7 with 8GB ram but that doesn't matter when something eats all of the I/O.
NOTE: Posting in case others see this and wonder what is going on with their Win10 computer

There is or was a setting to let them use your computer like a file share so others can download stuff.
I can't think of the name off hand.
Edit:
Google Search.

I don't think it was the other PCs on my home network causing this. It seemed to be that the machine was suddenly being updated from Microsoft. You may be right though.
About 15 minutes alter my wife said, "my computer is totally unusable..." -- her drive was getting crushed. Then she mentioned that last night she was using her win10 machine and it just shutdown instantly.
Oh, sorry, were you using your PC? Well, we had an update. ~insincerely, Microsoft Bros.

Which, having experienced this at a customer site, makes me wonder how the hell W10 can be even considered in a mission critical environment.

We control machinery with moving parts with Windows PCs. I shudder thinking of the damages it can do - not safety related fortunately but the sheer damage to production runs and lines could be terrible.

At some point I need to break down and buy one of the $300.00 win 10 systems so I can tear it apart.
The point of that google search was they were using peoples computers to pass along the updates to other people across the interent in a peer to peer fashon.
That just contained severl different articles on how to disable it.

I sure wouldn't want my PC used as an update server because microsoft is to cheap to spend their billions for more servers to take care of 'Their" customers. "<"rant/">"

Oh wow!!! I honestly didn't get that part. That's terrible.
Its so intrusive!!!

Using your machine as a CDN for win 10 distribution could be misconstrued as distributing malware in light of all the "listening" that software is apparently doing.

but also 
It would just be funny if it weren't so true.

uhm, you know you can turn it off, there are a myriad of articles out there telling you how. It is not galringly obvious but with the articles in hand it is not difficult.

I persevered for a couple of weeks with Win 10 and then gave up and reverted to 7 - I was trying to setup SSRS on it to learn it and it just kept complaining about credentials password ( which were all fine ) etc so out came the backed up image of 7 and within an hour I was up and running including SSRS - I know I'll have to switch eventually but until that day comes.

Even the built-in Resource Monitor will show you which files are being accessed, and by which process.

Got there early and took about an hour to find a parking space.  Most lots there are closed due to construction, so there aren't enough spaces for everyone.
At least I didn't have to buy any books (one came free with the class, the other isn't even needed [or used]). That's a savings of about $300.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

For a Texas greeting that was very nice and cuddly. Normally the boon would have been tarred, feathered, shot, hung and run out of town. Some of these perhaps more than once and the order may not be so important.

Not sure there ever was one. Today seemed mild compared to a normal spanking.

I've oft wondered about it existing myself; but the supposed existence of it seems to show up whenever the usual suspects decide its time to flame the competition for being hostile to people who don't post the sort of questions it wants while dislocating their shoulders by praising CP for being so much better.

Yes, I do know exactly what you are referring to.
