My Latest Annoyance with Windows 10 - Sleeping
-
Trying to avoid possibles missunderstandings... I am not telling people deactivating them are doing good, I am telling that it doesn't surprise me that some people are deactivating them.
Sometimes, updates will annoy you I've had Windows Update make me lose unsaved work. I've had it sitting there pending while waiting to rush out the door. I've had it install drivers that caused all manner of problems. I've had it change features so that they work differently and left me confused. I've had it consume bandwidth, eat up storage capacity and do any number of unexplainable things to my machines. Those of us who've felt Windows Update-inflicted pain will all agree on this: Microsoft needs to make Windows Update better.
But I do agree with the rest of that post. Deactivating them is a risk and has consequences.
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.
I'm sorry, but that link... It sounds like WAY TOO MUCH exaggeration to me. It also demonstrates a profound lack of understanding of how updates work, and possibly why it's needed. I could go on to make a lengthy post, but here's an example:

This is incredibly stupid because it's not as if updates sneak out from behind and will catch the user unaware. I'm pretty sure it sat there asking to be restarted like six dozen times, and the user clicked "after 4 hours" or something like that repeatedly. And when that 4 hours finally came, it restarted, only to be blamed. Reminds me of the quote "The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits". :)
