I find them awful. Even ignoring the philosophical "it's my machine dammit, it'll update when I damn well want it to and not before" POV[0] it is a practical mess on[1] two fronts: 1. I use my windows machine for computation, ergo it needs to be running, and it costs me money and productivity when it is not. If it restarts to update, I lose hours at minimum of cpu-time and more until I notice and can get things restarted. 2. It makes what should be core user functionality useless. I would like to set up my desktop, with some programs open, a few spreadsheets mayhaps, browser to discord, reddit, HN, etc. Maybe a second desktop relegated to some other task. I can't do this, because windows will force a restart in the next 144 hours which will invariably fubar anything I've tried to set up. [0]To which I strongly adhere. [1]At least.
