This is hardly as bad as Windows 10 where I was quite literally given a prompt (full screen modal, couldn't close) for a system update that said: "Restart Now"

This is hardly as bad as Windows 10 where I was quite literally given a prompt (full screen modal, couldn't close) for a system update that said: "Restart Now" and "Ok" Guess what "Ok" did? Restarted the fucking machine, but _not_ right away... no, it waited about ten minutes before randomly performing the update during a game I was playing.

This is a discussion on Apple's macOS. Not sure what mentioning Windows does (unless it somehow makes you feel better).

  This is either an alternate account, or you're new here. Discussions can branch to the underlying theme of a link, like "UI for updates" and "system security updates being forced or not".

  Even though he is delusional in how windows updates work- to be fair it seems pertinent to compare updates to other OS's.. you can't just complain about how apple updates in a bubble without considering what other companies do.

That's not how windows updates work at all so either you are just making shit up or your memory is terrible.

  I'm going to go on a limb and say that the parent omitted something, like ignoring the updates for weeks prior.

  Incorrect. I had never seen such a thing, but it happened earlier this week. I was astounded as to the audacity of it, perhaps it's something that only happens to windows insider builds, but _it did_ happen.

One of the restart popups came up while I was typing, and I happened to press the space bar as it appeared. I believe it chose "restart tomorrow" for me but it disappeared I cant be sure. Sure enough, the next day the pc is restarted, despite me having hibernated it before I left. Hibernate isnt even safe! Event viewer seems to show it waking itself up from hibernate on its own, an hour after I left.

This is just whataboutism. I don't care if it is Windows or MacOS. Bad UI is bad UI, regardless of OS.

  yea, these days both are equally bad. i mean, apple has the UX on the ipad such that when you say no to updates or to remind you later, it presents you with a login page as if to confirm that’s what you’d like to do but instead installs the updates anyway. you have to look at the bottom of the screen to click remind me later a second time for it to listen to you. before my ipad just up and died, i would pick it up in the afternoon only for it to just then install an update it had downloaded and one i never remember allowing. pretty inconvenient to set there for 15 minutes while it updated when i wanted to use it.
