Re: how to stop wp 10 update?

What the hell, you've to install it, I'm currently trying the trick, I thought I can postpone the installation!!!!!!

The only way to stop the update is to reset your phone. I installed Update 2 and then performed a full reset, Update 2 stays but the phone doesn't pick up any new updates

Re: how to stop wp 10 update?

I have the same trouble. As for my 1520, yesterday I installed wp10tp, today I have restored the phone to wp8.1, then started downloading update, and deleted windows insider while downloading. Now I have L1520 with GDR2. My problem is when I tried to do the same with my wife's L822 that has wp8.1 GDR1 with Denim, it downloaded wp10 at once without even try to have 8.1 gdr2 first. How to cancel the setup? It will be set up automatically on the 15th of April...

All I had to do is uncheck automatic downloads from the settings>>update menu and that's it, no hard reset was needed. This is on a 830 BTW

I'm wondering as well how to prevent this update from installing... my L630 DS works perfectly with GDR 2 and I don't want to restore my phone and reinstall apps if the TP is too unstable (as others seem to say). Uninstalling Windows Insider did not work, neither did soft reset, if anyone else can suggest anything... thank you

Re: how to stop wp 10 update?

Same problem. I got a little hot-headed and installed Windows Insider before reading the change log. What I didn't know was that it auto-downloaded the update, and is now threatening to update automatically on April 15th. Does anyone know how to delete the update files before it auto-installs?

Does someone have a solution? I'm interested too

 

[Guytronic]

Untick the box under "phone update" that says: "Automatically download updates if data settings allow it"
I've always done this when I get the install update now pop-up.

Anyone else found a way to circumvent this before April 15th

EDIT: I understand I can hard reset now or use the tool Microsoft provides to rollback after TP10 is installed, but both ways means I lose my WhatsApp chats as I have no external SD. I also lose 6snap :'( which at least I can view stories atm. Is there a way to deleting or corrupting the download files? I tried setting the calendar a year back but the drawback is my schedule is now really messed up

Use one of these tools to revert to official How can I recover/reset/restore my phone software? - Microsoft - USA

Re: how to stop wp 10 update?

That'll have to be my last resort, but that means I'll lose a lot of things that don't get backed up by the settings, like whatsapp chats etc (no external SD). Anyone know a way that wont erase everything? Also, does anyone know why I can't back up App+Settings manually? it gets to 95% and tells me there was an error

... and for all those techs (trying stuff) ya gotta ask yourself ' ... do I have a fallback?'

How to stop it

Seriously, what's the big deal? Wipe your phone... There are more important things in life than a WhatsApp chat log.

If your phone data was that important to you, you had no business playing with the insider program in the first place.

 

[RumoredNow]

If you enrolled in Insider did you read any of the advice before activating it?

Microsoft said it. All the blogs said it. Users who tried said it.

Don't rush in. Don't use your primary. Do be ready to lose data. Do know how to restore and revert.

This. Is. Not. New.

That's true, but I kinda half expected those on Update 2 would be on a "slow-ring" and those on W10TP at the moment the "fast ring".

 

[RumoredNow]

It's the same general panic we saw when the first round of Insider rolled out, but magnified.

The funny thing is, I suspect that even those who are only curious and are risking their primary are all hitting Fast because, you know, "cool."

FYI, if one has a phone with a microSD card then WhatsApp chat logs can be backed-up and restored, just saying.

Remove your old backups first before creating a new one. It fixed mine but that was long ago. :smile: Try it and see if this trick still works.
