no it didn't. windows 10 doesn't force your computer to shut down since like 5 years ago.

And then Windows just ignores your wishes and updates itself anyway.

Definitely. What I do is, I keep rescheduling the automatic install/restart for the next week, and then the next week, and then the week after that. But apparently Windows stopped listening to my rescheduling orders and just said fuck it and restarted my pc.

I went out for a few hours for some errands only to come back to the pc and saw the screen was locked and realized that the pc restarted all by itself like some self aware Ai shit.

I beleive there's a limit to how many days your allowed to postpone an update... I think its 35 days (which is stupid but microsoft gonna microsoft)

Probably don't leave your PC on and unattended if you don't want it to do unexpected shit

Fair enough but it's still kinda scummy of them to go behind my back and restart the pc to install updates. They couldn't be man enough to do it in front of my face

And there's nothing to prevent it from happening again. Apparently you can only "turn off updates" for 7 days and that's it. Not a permanent thing

They force updates because too many users would otherwise leave their systems with security flaws that are fixed in new updates.

This is not a hypothetical problem. This was the reason the Wannacry attack was widespread.

yeah. But the reality is most of the world still has shit internet and it doesnt let you control when it downloads. You could be in the middle of an online game and windows just shits it up. If you try to reboot your computer in the middle of the day because you had to install a new program or fix a bug or something, it forces the update upon you even if you click the restart without updating button. They dont respect your time or resources

Windows doesnt respect your update schedule. Why is it so hard for windows to just work as its told?

Because you're still running version 1.0 of the OS, you're not busy 24/7 so run an update during your downtime.

if you count 21H1 as version 1 I agree cause its just that shit
if i schedule it for overnight, it ignores it. If I dont schedule it for overnight, it does it whenever without warning. Its a failure of the OS.

You hit the Windows key
Type update then hit enter
Let the program check for and download updates
Restart when finished

Do that during your downtime/when you go out/when you go to sleep, it's literally elementary and I have no idea how you have trouble with it.

If I schedule it for overnight it should fucking do it itself. and when I dont schedule it, it shouldnt do it. If theres two buttons, update and restart and just restart, it shouldnt update when I click restart. This was a problem solved decades ago so I dont understand why youre shilling for Microsoft and their dysfunctional POS update system here

Dude, this is 100% your own fault.

windows does NOT force updates until you snooze them like 84 times.

YOU fucked up. YOU are at fault. Blame YOURSELF. @saspa
