I woke up this morning to see my screen telling me Windows 8.1 had downloaded (itself) and was ready to install when I reboot.

I have software which is not compatible with 8.1.

How can I stop the automatic install?

Thanks!

You cant get updates for 8 , so you have to have 8.1

what software is not compatible with 8.1 but is compatible with 8 ?

Autodesk Inventor 13
Update to Inventor 15, which is compatible, is in the several thousand dollar range.

Hey Gijs,

Thank you for your comment. Uninstall Inventor & then reinstall, make sure you download the Service Packs within the installer, so then it is installed in one hit, program & SP's. It should all work then.

Cheers
