That might be nice when update only take 10 minutes, but it often takes much longer. Plus, also, working people live on schedules, so there's that.

Dear Microsoft,

Your incessant updates - despite my "professional" key, constant deferments, and rollbacks - has driven me toward installing Linux Mint and only opening my personal computer when I need to create/edit documents and spreadsheets. Thank you for breaking my addiction to buying and playing games, allowing me to actually focus on building my business and my future.

Sincerely,

Some goat who is still a little pissed that he wasted money on your spyware

For the record, I didn't downvote you. The OS experience is truly a matter of personal preference, and personal permissibility of license terms.

What version of 10? I haven't had it in Enterprise due to fucking about with settings.

I don't mind having having to update my computer but an estimated time remaining would be much appreciated

Welcome to the club. I tell the Windows computer to shut down, because I need to pack it and catch a bus, or move it and I'm in a hurry. But surprise! It is now the most opportune time to spend five minutes configuring updates!

Thank god there is Linux. When I tell a Linux computer to update (on my schedule and only on my schedule), it does so all in one go. There are no surprise delays during next startup/shutdown, and neither do they package nagware like GWX as "an update to resolve issues" in order to sneak it past me when they know that I don't want it because I already uninstalled it five times like Microsoft did.

You shouldn't have to run pi-hole and uninstall abunch of bloat.

Careful guys, if you don't trash Windows in this thread, expect to be downvoated. Dissenting opinion doesn't mean wrong opinion.

Neither do I, but that's because I removed Windows from all of my personal systems about 7 years ago.

Windows Update Team: Not our idea. Ask suits above us.

I think it is trying driver updates. When I have the freeze everything freezes, this includes the clock on screen.

I also have Linux on that exact same machine, never have issues so the PC is not the issue.

I just do not get why people have so many problems.

Updates for one. Updates, as implemented do nothing for security. You know why? Because there is no such thing as security-only updates. So for every fresh batch of updates, accompanying them is a fresh batch of NEW bugs. So you're literally stuck into a treadmill of constant updates to fix bugs introduced in the last batch. This is a completely, permanently, architecturally broken system, at its very core.

Second, advertisements. There are ads in every corner of the operating system. For something I'm paying for, this is absolutely disgusting, shameful, and overtly greedy and user-hostile. I hear dumb fuckers say things like "I don't ever see ads" and these people are the kind of dumbfucks that wipe back-to-front and every subsequent opinion from them can be safely ignored.

Third, spyware. Even if they chose NOT to spy on you, they can, as soon as they receive a NSL ordering them to. This applies to those retarted fucking "smart speakers" as well. This is why you DO NOT permit third parties to alter the software on your computer remotely, ever, without a DAMN good reason.

Anybody using Windows 10 is ignorant. Period.

I also purchased and no upgrade and I have tons of misery.

Audio that drops out, web cam that dorps out, and most frustrating part is the freezes that forces me to pull the power cord.

Just the other day windows update decided to restart my server mid day during peak usage and also wiped the IP configuration with it xD beyond that though as you have experienced as well my personal PC has been fine on 10.

random

How do you know it's random? Wouldn't it be more likely that there is a specific cause?

Had a crash the other night. When it booted back up I got surprise raped by windows update. It's really frustrating.

You must just be pushing the issues to the back of your mind because they're so traumatizing.

That's actually done on purpose. It's to set back productivity, if productivity isn't hindered we would accomplish so much more. I still remember a time if we didn't hit save every 5 minutes or so we could lose all of our work

you must not use windows 10

Microsoft is just trying to Pimp Yo PC!!!
