Microsoft just keep asking until it forces them or put them at "night hours" or while in standby in my bag so I can't refuse anymore because I am not even awake or conscious of what is happening. I want to be in control of the reboots of my own pc, can I? Is it so absurd to pretend it?
It is already ridiculous that I even have to forcefully install updates even if I don't want to, and I won't accept the "yeah but unless they do this way no one is gonna install updates".
Of course no one is... they ask for a reboot. Maybe just do something as simple as managing your updates so that the reboot is not needed? I never rebooted any of my linux boxes after an update since 2010 and never had a single problem because of it.
- supernovae 5y agoOnce a month you get asked to patch if you're using your computer during non active hours. Otherwise, it will reboot on its own during inactive hours. Or you know, if its the second tuesday of the month, when you go on lunch or go grab a snack, you can click update and restart - in Windows 11 the updates are usually slipstreamed and happen quickly. Rebooting once a month isn't a problem for anyone I know. My phones typically get 3+ major updates a year and a monthly update and reboots itself at night.
