It usually shows a notification that your computer need to restart to update. I experienced this once. Still, I prefer to take my time to update. In windows 10, normal users cannot prevent windows to install update. I think that pro and corporate version can do that, because just imagine again what happens if the corporate boss got his computer restarted without his consent lol.
But I think it is set to automatic by default. Second, the Pro, Enterprise, and Education versions allow varying degrees of increased control over how updates are managed. Home users are given less control, since outdated Windows installations have been a nightmarish security epidemic for far too long. Third, all versions of Windows 10 already do not auto-reboot while the computer is actively in-use, but will wait until the computer is idle.
Also with Pro versions and higher you can set Windows to automatically download updates, but not actually install until you say so up to a maximum three-month delay. Combine this with regular shut-down or reboots which you should be doing anyway , and professionals have absolutely nothing to worry about with unexpected auto-reboots due to updates, and in fact have a much easier time than ever before at keeping their systems up-to-date.
Your arguments are invalid. In If you had told most people in , the Windows would still need to be rebooted ad-nausum in , you would have been met with disbelief. Yet, here we are. An ebbing lowers all boats. Rationalizing and accepting silly situations ensure that they continue.
Yet, you are convinced that updates only FIX code. You have no evidence to show that this is true, and circumstantial evidence already indicates that Microsoft is unable to write code that is not terribly insecure.
Does Microsoft take responsibility for your mistakes? If they screw up, the least they could do is not further inconvenience you by taking control of their computer. Test it before releasing it next time. They paid Microsoft for it. Want to control it? Pay for it. If it breaks, Microsoft wants nothing to do with it. As such, you should direct it when it works. Can you believe it?! And the hapless owners who bought it are the bad guys for not replacing the code the purchased fast enough.
In my state teachers for example buy their own computers and if they specialized access to school they work in, they just give it to the schools IT specialist and they do they thing and they certify that that computer will work with whatever school system that is needed. Thus the computers were overpriced, unattractive models and the staff avoided using them whenever they could get away with it. The whole Windows tier system is such a farce.
That opinion of yours is VARY lacking. You want a use case where there system is bad? I need to leave my PC on overnight every so often to get work done does so automatically, its why i do it overnight But i also cant have it updated during the day because im actually doing work.
I restart my PC usually once every 24 hours anyway so this restarting in the middle of my work isnt acceptable. Even so, a 48 hour delay would be better. There is absolutely nothing you can say to make this feature good. Why should the least common denominator in humanity be setting the bar for everyone?
You screw up you take the end result as its your own fault. Every time they do a stupid update like this the entire company from CEO on down should get punched in the face once a day until they fix it. The Pro version still has this option, with the only difference being that you can only delay critical updates for a maximum of three months. Really, all these complaints about a loss of control are ridiculous. Yes, you are being more strongly encouraged to keep your system up-to-date which any professional SHOULD be doing, anyway , but you are being given MORE control on how you keep it updated.
Both still download and install updates, the difference is when you schedule the restart, which is NOT the same as just downloading the updates and choosing when to install them.
There is a big difference, and the user has lost control over the updates, so I can sympathize with those that want to control when updates are installed and when they want to update them. I for one would rather have them downloaded but not installed, so that when I am ready I can go through the whole install and reboot process and continue my work thereafter.
Active hours is a bad idea. I alredy lost some works that were being send to my Photo laboratory. Did Microsoft think about batch processes? You are calling users stupid! This is nuts. Closing all active windows for an update can be a serious annoyance. Unfortunately, Microsoft is not a serious OS for serious work. Can you image how much work has been lost across the world because of this.
Millions upon millions of hours. An absolute disgrace. The company is, however, telegraphing to you how seriously they take your work. Rebooting so often to fix security issues. My goodness, there is something called alpha, beta, and gamma testing.
I think is far too little control, 10hrs? During the week that may be fine for my PC at home where I only use it in the evenings, but at the weekend a I need a different time range b it needs to be more than 10hrs.
I have no not active hours when the PC is turned on. And hibernate means that I want it back in a couple of hour in the same state to continue my work where I left it.
In addition, if you always shut down your computer rather than sleeping or hibernating, then you have even less to worry about, as it will finish the updates upon shutdown. Basically, your stated reasons for refusing to upgrade are invalid.
In which case, those updates need to be arranged better. In Windows 7 Home edition, if I want to post-pone an update, I can. I can also not install any of the updates given to me. If i go to make a cup of coffee is that considered not being active? If i choose to do some work on the weekend is that considered not being active? I never shut down. So what do I do? You keep saying your computer will not reboot if you are actively using it.
This is not true. I have been in the middle of writing a report and it shut my computer down and with an automatic reboot and I lost what I was working on. When you say that the reboot will happen when the computer shuts down, if you shut it down manually, this is not true either, as I got a notification that an update required a restart.
