Windows Update, grrrr
-
So I bought a nice new laptop (i9, 8 cores, 16 threads, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD, etc) and in the last week Windows has updated numerous times, installing BS like Solitaire games, Disney+, etc. And every time, it reboots. OK, maybe rebooting in the middle of the night is OK, but I just got home (4:45 PM) from running an errand and it rebooted, of course all my VS projects closed, SSMS closed, etc. I don't want to install a Windows Update blocker, but MickeySoft leaves me no choice - I want to pick up from where I left off, whether it's the next morning or an hour later during the work day. And I don't want all those BS Play Store Apps it seems to think I want! So f*** it, blocker installed. I'll do updates on "my schedule."

ASP.NET Core Web API: Plugin Controllers and ServicesI just purchased a new Dell XPS 17 (64G RAM, I9 processor, 1TB SSD). Won't arrive for a few weeks, so I am interested in hearing more comments on Win11 upgrade. It comes with Win10 installed, but includes a Win11 license as well. It might be I wait on that upgrade and stay with Win10 a bit longer...
