If it didn't require a reboot, an automatic update wouldn't bother me at all. I hate that my one remaining Windows machine is never in the same state I left it because it rebooted during the night.
- dhimes 6y agoI lean towards this too. Microsoft and iTunes can't seem to get package management right. Maybe now that they've dabbled in Linux they'll update their process.
- rubatuga 6y agoYou can disable automatic reboots.
- blibble 6y agonext year: > Microsoft has been continually tweaking the way the Windows 10 update reboot process works based on "user feedback"
- TeMPOraL 6y agoExcept when you can't, because Windows will conveniently forget about your setting (or, some random OEM garbage for "maintaining" your computer will pop up a "rebooting in 5... 4..." message in the middle of the night.)
- errantmind 6y agoIf you mean by disabling the scheduled task, this doesn't stick. Even if you delete all the scheduled tasks, or otherwise mess with them, they always come back
- a1369209993 6y agoYou say "delete", but are you actually overwriting the task executable with garbage, unlinking it, then creating a folder named "stupidshit.exe" (or whatever the executable was called) so that re-creating it will fail, or just removing it from a list?

- kdtsh 6y agoThe one that really, really gets me is I can’t RDP onto my work computer after a reboot which was initiated after an automatic update. Meaning my computer is completely useless to me until I go into the office again. Unreal. If I had the time and the drive I would transfer my work flow over to Linux. I use it everyday, just not on my work computer. It’s getting more and more painful having to deal with Windows.
