Woke up this morning to find my pc had updated itself overnight.

 

I wasnt expecting that. No warnings.

 

Anyway, just like last time, I can no longer access shared folders on my server.

 

Also it bizarrely says in the bottom right corner : 

 

"Windows 10 Insider Preview - Evaluation copy. Build 14295.rs1_release.160318-1628"

 

In winver is says "Evaluation copy. Expires 16/7/2016"

 

Have I lost my free licence?

 

Bad Microsoft. Any major updates like this really should wait for user approval before installing.

I am on the slow ring. But I am still annoyed that updates install without warning, or approval.

 

Its fortunate I dont have much to do today, because I'm probably going to have to rollback or restore from backup before the day is out.

 

Thats what I had to do last time after spending way too long with MS support trying to fix the network access problem.

 

IF I dont, what happens after the expiry date 16/7? 

 

 

 

 

you can roll back right from inside the Windows Update UI

 

If you don't want to receive Windows Insider flights then you shouldn't be in the Windows Insider Preview program

 

after 16/7 your eval license expires
