The Stupid Arrogance

Or just turn off the update service.

Not that I've ever tried this, but wouldn't the OS start popping up warning messages incessantly? At least with WSUS, you don't have to turn off Windows Update on the clients...
No, not at all.

No, not at all.
Interesting. So you can turn off WU without a single warning, yet if you dare turn off the firewall, OMG, the sky's falling...even though you're sitting behind a router that does a much better job than the Windows Firewall could ever wish to be capable of doing. Or the AV.

yeah, but you can turn off firewall warnings too cant you? Pretty sure there is a setting for it somewhere.

My PC rebooted during the night for another Windows 10 update. This time, it also started playing a Netflix in the background. Thinking to put it back to sleep, it now says I MUST create a pin # BEFORE I can sign in. I'm now being RANSOMED by Microsoft. I have only ONE pin. I've had it for forever, and I'm NOT going to use it on my computer (like probably most of the population will). So there you have it. MS now has most people's bank pin numbers; or at least they've forced people to unconsciously expose themselves to more financial risk. The arrogant stupidity of it all. On top of it, Microsoft will tell you if your pin is "too easy"?! On top of that, the "pin procedure" failed (I nearly sh*t myself), but we can "retry" at a later date. All Windows updates are now "paused" by me. Note: I can't stop them.

Why the fuss? I have one pin to sign in to Windows, and different pins for my bank and credit cards.
It wouldn't let me sign in without setting one up. Why do I object to someone "putting a lock on my own house"? Or consider this: it wanted a new pin without me signing in ... in which case, "whose" pin is it? No explanation, no "cancel" ... just a loop. I have yet to make any sense of it ...

Yep, you'd be an old Mike Hunt.

Assuming this is the same update that I applied to another PC here about an hour ago. It is restarting again for at least the 5th time...just watching the spinning dots for now at 75%....must be a major update. :sigh: It did give me the choice to put it off, but I had no idea it was going to take this long.

Working on a project that involve many components (code, images, text files, etc.). It's nice being able to come back to a session in that case.

Virtual Machine stopped... main pc shut down :)
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

You must have a monster machine to run multiple copies of VS, Remote desktop, Visio, Netflix, Edge, FireFox, Paint.Net, Picture Viewer, Snippet, PDF Reader, Age of Empires, 3 monitors, .... in a VM.

How about my "old" father then who is 90% blind? You know what I meant; I didn't think it necessary for a whole song and dance. In any event, I had another ("farm-type") "older relative" get ripped off by the "infected pc script" site who should have contacted me first. Her "farm-type" nephew could have fixed it too. Or is farm-type a problem for you too? Oh, and I'm probably older than you.

Being old and not dead is always very good. Mike Hunt is rhyming slang for ladies parts and is generally not a good thing to be called, though here in Australia it is a term of endearment used amongst close mates.
