To be fair, I think these days Windows has a better auto-update story than OSX. They may both be equally annoying. I have suffered involuntary restarts on both operating systems.
- Wowfunhappy 7y agoThe big difference is that I can turn off auto update on OS X. It's not even on by default, although you are encouraged to enable it. (Apple has the ability to forcibly push updates, but they almost never use it.)
- computerex 7y agoI have never turned on auto-update, and I have had my work laptop restart on me without my permission. It simply showed me a dialogue box stating that the computer is going to restart upon hitting ok and that I better save my work. Where I work, we mob program, and this has happened to my team mates on many occasions.
- Wowfunhappy 7y ago...well, I'm quite confused, because this has never happened to me.
- beefalo 7y agoIt's happened to me frequently. I think it may be from corp device management forcing security updates
- Wowfunhappy 7y agoAh, that explains it! Especially since GP was also referring to a work machine.
