For security fixes, that is. Not for adware, crapware or phone home capabilities (or resetting your preferences) bundled on top. Microsoft ruined the benefits of auto-updates for which it should be criticized much more.
I believe Microsoft wants two things: A more homogeneous installation base and the beloved walled garden with phone home capabilities. Both are directly adverse to users interests. Therefore people don't want to update.
- Karunamon 9y agoI think it’s a bit more mundane than that. Most people aren't putting that much thought into their computers after all. I think it's that Microsoft still hasn’t figured out how to do updates without requiring a reboot. Nobody wants to lose their working state or wait minutes to begin working to what appears at first glance to be pointless computer housekeeping.
- chopin 9y agoMaybe, maybe not. At work, I am on Win10 Enterprise and have seen content pretty close to an ad. I can't imagine how it is for a Home user. And, as this thread shows, things are breaking after updates. I don't believe that only forced reboots make people think.
