Although I get your point, Windows has more powerfull configuration options than you might think as a user. E.g.Windows defender can be permanently disabled through administrative templates for your computer.
- mattmanser 10y agoBut it's a massive pain in the ass to do it. Like I kinda want it, but not all the time. Just like I kinda need to be forced to update, but not just suddenly "Well, that's it, we're shutting down now". It's my fucking computer, if I really don't want to restart right now, what's the big fucking deal?

Forcing a patch prevents you from turning into the poster a few steps above, complaining that Windows is insecure and people lost data because of it.

- falcolas 10y agoWell, for awhile. Software updates come along and re-enable these features all too frequently. Not to mention, this feels a bit like how we used to have to manage Linux on the desktop: don't like X? Here's a configuration file you can edit. At least until another update comes along and breaks it. It's been years since I've enjoyed chasing down new settings and finding what was reset every few days.
