Uptime is not in itself a number to chase as long as that interruption doesn't come at the cost of your time and effort. Home users don't care about uptime, they care about using their computer without forced interruptions.
And that's what MS should be focusing on: doing the updates as unobtrusively as possible.
- AlexandrB 8y agoPerhaps that’s fine for home users but I’ve lost days of test data thanks to Windows deciding that it’s a good time to update. Windows 10 is not a suitable OS for any kind of professional work IMHO. Edit: that’s not mentioning how Microsoft’s aggressive telemetry is probably exfiltraring sensitive corporate info unintentionally.
- close04 8y agoHow does that contradict what I said? > they care about using their computer without forced interruptions > MS should be focusing on: doing the updates as unobtrusively as possible How exactly did your problem happen? There are ways to manage this so it doesn't cause this kind of loss. It's not ideal that you have to use them but if you work with valuable data you should take all precautions out of principle.
- AlexandrB 8y agoOops, that's a reading comprehension fail on my part. I now know there are (hacky, unsupported) ways around it. But on principle, I should not have to fight my OS for control of the computer.
