- Sangeppato 8y agoThe issue to me is not having to reboot. The issue is that Windows 10 automatically checks for updates and as soon as it detects one, it will download and install it without asking or telling me anything. This is what really pisses me off
- slantyyz 8y agoIt's especially annoying if you have any long running tasks that you've left unattended only to return to find that your machine rebooted and the tasks didn't complete.

- sccxy 8y agoTo be honest my macOS updates are more annoying. They take more time and "2 minutes remaining" is just a lie. More likely it is 20 - 60 minutes.
- satysin 8y agoYeah that is a pain in the ass. I don't understand why macOS updates take so long. My guess is it also updates the recovery partition as well? It is the same with a macOS clean install though. Windows 10 takes like 4-5 minutes to do the copying files stuff on an NVMe SSD then another 2 minutes for the "setting up devices" but you can be in the post-install setup bit in under 10 minutes on a decent machine. macOS takes like 30 minutes and the drives in the MacBook Pro are stupidly fast so I just don't understand wtf it is doing.
