Are you using a mechanical disk? I can't even remember the last time windows updates or defender made a meaningful impact on my day to day usage. Even after a year of being off line, I anticipate the problem and just leave it sit for an hour and it's ready to reboot to install all the updates. It does indeed take numerous reboots often, as does MacOS, which is imperfect. Though I'll take automatic reboots over cryptic package compiler errors any day.
- TedDoesntTalk 5y agoYes mechanical disk because i could not get a ssd with 5 year warranty, although they are now available and i have not upgraded yet
- the8472 5y agoThe problem with windows updates + windows defender seems to be that they interact synchronously and only use a single thread. Even on my work laptop with an NVMe drive updates bring a single core to 100% for several minutes and it's nowhere near saturating IO bandwidth or IOPS.
