Windows 8 was what happened when Microsoft thought no one used PC's and thought everyone just
used tablets and used them exclusively as time wasters where that kind of inconvenience would be
acceptable.
Windows 10 is 8's red headed step child where Micosoft realized they needed to both make a
horrible user interface that was "sleek" and also follow Apple in suit with how you have
virtually zero control over critical aspects of the software.
Because you can't fuck up what you're not even allowed to touch. So you don't actually have the
ability to stop automatic updates without simply not hooking your computer up to the internet.
What bugs me isn't that these companies did this- people are fucking stupid- but that there's
literally no consumer advocacy group that's threatening to ream Microsoft out the ass with
lawsuits for taking away user freedom without advertising it. You're free to do whatever stupid
bullshit you want with your product but you also need to tell me these things before I buy them.
At this point I am genuinely considering taking the plunge on a Linux distro and just going full
autist rather than make the leap from Windows 7 to whatever deprecates it. This kind of change
wasn't done because people were using woefully out of date OS's- auto updates are on by default
after all- but because of some cynical decision made by Microsoft executives. I'm willing to be
it's got some stupid angle like native advertising.

Windows 8 you can turn them off. Windows 10 you can't. All updates are mandatory on Windows 10.

yeah I've always either turned updates off or marked "just notify me when updates available"
because why waste bandwidth on updates you wont install? I had a server go down on me once
because updates were set to install automatically. given It wasnt my server, I wasnt the admin, I
was given a task, that task required I restart the stupid machine, the stupid machine was
supposed to be mirrored, the admin gave permission for me to restart the machine, and you know
what? when the updates broke the machine and the mirror backup failed, the admin still managed to
blame me
fuck insurance companies. and fuck windows updates

"Turning off" automatic updates in Windows 10 *is* technically possible, but it's a kluge - it is
necessary to manually disable the updater service:

This. Security updates are a necessity.
But from what I've heard, Windows doesn't give the user a choice as to when to install the
updates, and since they still require a restart in order to install updates in the year of the
lord 2015, they just turn the computer off. I think Windows 7 let you postpone the updates
indefinitely, but as soon as you powered off the computer, the installation would start (and take
up towards an hour). It's not really surprising that people give up security to stop this shit
from happening.

I always shut my computer down before I go to bed every night, during which time Microsoft takes
care of whatever updates it has queued up for me, so I never have a problem with it forcing me to
reboot at inopportune times.

Also, it only takes an hour if you're trying to update a month's worth of updates you've been
putting off. Updates for me never last more than a few minutes because I keep my shit up to date.

Even that is too much. Why not just install the updates when the computer is on and reboot just
to restart the programs? If I turn off the computer, it means I want it turned off this instant.

depending on what your rendering it can take several days, and with Microsoft forcing you to
restart your PC as you obviously need bullshit update #450940 that does absolutely nothing, it
can really fuck shit up. sure any decent render program allows you to stop at any time if there's
an issue, but if you're not actively monitoring it you can lose several hours of rendering time.

What an asshole. He knows what's going to happen, he knows that eventually it's going to say
"We're doing this shit now, motherfucker", and then he has the temerity to get pissed when it
decides to throw down when he's rendering a video. This shit wouldn't happen if, the first time
he clicked "Later", he simply turned off or rebooted his computer that night when he got off it
for the evening to go to bed.
Now his video is ruined. I hope he never gets it rendered. Serve the short-sighted motherfucker
right.
