The single biggest change I hope for, is Windows not forcing my computer to reboot for an update. It's kind of acceptable forcing me to update when I reboot myself, but rebooting for me is just a no-go. Especially as it just gets stuck at my BIOS password and keeps the computer on all night.
I know I won't get that wish fulfilled.
- GordonS 8y agoI don't know if this is perhaps different for the Enterprise edition? I use the Enterprise edition, and while it asks me if I want to reboot to update from time to time, I don't remember it ever forcing a reboot - which is just as well, as I tend to go weeks without rebooting (I just put it to sleep when I'm done, so I can resume the next day). BTW, if anyone reading this thinks Enterprise edition is only available for large corporations, it's not - you get something like 5 licenses with the Microsoft Action Pack, which is incredible value for what you get.
- Macha 8y agoYes, on Home you have to pick a (12 now? Used to be 16) hour window as not being your active time during which time the OS will just inform you it's rebooting for updates and you don't get a choice. Pro used to be the same, but it hasn't bothered me about in a while so it may have been removed
- GordonS 8y agoHmm, you get to pick a window on Enterprise too, but while it will remind you from time to time, I haven't had it force a reboot.
- ascar 8y agoI'm running education, which should be identical in features to the enterprise version. A forced update just happened to me two days ago, about a week after Windows decided to update to the "October update".
