heads up (windows update caution)

just a heads up to check your computers.
i have a built in wifi and bluetooth recievers in my desktop which i usially keep in the "off" setting.
felt agrivated and angry all day today, also some chest pain and didnt know why. i started to check with my meter and noticed large exposure in my room every couple of seconds. upon closer examination i found my pc wifi was in the on position,. what i think happened is that one of the windows updated turned my wifi antenae on,,,.. just a heads up to check your devices!

Re: heads up (windows update caution)

Uphill - I had the same thing happen with me just after the most recent Windows10 update, but it only activated Bluetooth and not Wifi. I then deleted the Update and turned off Bluetooth and a day later found the Bluetooth on again. I checked Updates and it had done the Windows update again even though I have checked "metered connection" which I don't have, but this often stops the constant Win10 updating, and had put the computer in airplane mode. I hate Windows10, but it's a new computer that came with it so that I have no other OS to revert back to.

You can always do a parallel install of Ubuntu. It's free.
