Thank you for the insight. Much appreciated. Sad to know windows updates is still a problem after 10 years lol
Please dont disable auto-updates. Instead configure your Windows machine to schedule them. Look your notifications. Treat it as a Car, not as a Toy.
It's been ages since I've used Windows - does it not still force reboots for updates after that much time?
Aren't you bothered that they push updates as you try to turn the PC on ? Or have you not experienced this part of windows update ?
The main issue is that MS is forcing full updates not only security updates, you won't like it if your computer can't boot or for some reason MS changed the GUI,broke something you depended on.
I'm genuinely surprised Microsoft allows disabling of those automatic updates...
Does it force the updates? Ot can you postpone them indefinitely?My biggest issue with Windows was the forced reboots.
It's such an anachronism that Windows still needs to reboot to update itself
What if Microsoft instead fixed the need to restart for almost every update?
having updates forced ON is the right choice. The mechanism used in windows 10 is very user hostile, and needlessly so.
