I understand that Microsoft see the large number of vulnerable machines on the internet as a problem thay they are responsible for and the forced update as a necessary solution.
Nevertheless, I dual-boot my laptop and use Windows almost only for presentations. Whenever connections to external devices and other OS shenanigans force me to reboot my machine when I'm in the speaker position and the dreaded forced update cycle begins I swear I'll never touch that ugly OS ever again. And I already developed routine of checking for updates and booting in advance, but somehow this still happens from time time.
I guess there's need to be a special "seriously not now pretty please" button.
- kds3 6y agoLike a big "pause updates" button they already have for years in the "advanced options" tab?
- zaat 6y agoExactly, just without the time limits. Also, make it work for all updates. Oh, and While they are at it, they should also remove the nasty auto update of office application when starting them, without giving any prior hint or notice.
