I manage my ex-wife's PC using TeamViewer and just regularly check updates to see what's up and to make sure MalwareBytes is running and up to date. This prevents her (and my kids) from doing "bad things".
A proactive approach is better than complaining about Microsoft, whose model has changed whether you like it or not. Windows is a service now. Not a product.
The more quickly we accept that (or switch OS's), the happier we'll be.
- oarsinsync 10y agoNot really fair to blame the end-user / victim, who bought a product. Requiring business-level IT policies and monitoring on home/consumer IT products isn't really viable for the vast majority. Windows 10 might be a service, but previous versions were products.
- joosters 10y agoDoes TeamViewer prevent someone from desperately powering off a machine because they don't know to stop an update? I can't see how your advice would have helped here.
