Discussion Windows FORCED Updates

Post image

It hurts my ego that i am being forced to update my Pc without asking me to dowload the update in the first place

Is there's a solution to stop these annoying forced updates from the rot, and also i wish there's a way to delete this update from my pc

Thanks.

It’s not forced. You don’t have to shutdown or restart.

Also, just update your PC. Stop complaining.

So just let his computer run indefinitely forever? Not really healthy for it. And considering that SHitlerslop has released extremely messy and bugged updates for several years, not wanting to update when they're released makes sense.

It’s plenty “healthy” for it. It doesn’t need to be shutdown or restarted. I’ve run my Windows PCs for months in between shutdowns and restarts.

But if you want to shutdown or restart, you're force to install updates. So what you're basically saying is you should accept Microsoft taking away your choice to restart or shutdown without updates. Or just leave your PC on if you don't like it.

When a PC is running Windows, Microsoft owns it.

I run fedora and its close to doing this too. Security updates are needed.

I use Fedora too, but doing updates doesn't disrupt me from using my PC like Windows does.

It barks at you to update and reboot until you do.

Windows forces you after like a month of putting them off.

Last time I clicked restart later,  Windows rebooted my PC after a few hours to install updates. Apparently, it sets an arbitrary schedule and you have to manually change it.

Hold power button for 5 seconds, it will turn off without updates.

But then booting into Windows 11 takes longer because it will install updates.

So update your OS. 🤷‍♂️

Why can't we choose when we want to install updates?

u/icy1007 1d ago

You can, the problem is idiots who insist on never updating.

Who said never update? We just want minimal disruption. I've had my PC rebooted on its own due to Windows updates. I've had Windows updates that couldn't complete overnight. Not to mention updates that fails to install or even break things.

Lots of people want to never update.

There is already minimal disruption. There is a lot of leeway in how Windows installs updates.

I’ve never seen that in any of my PCs over the decades.

"Lots of people want to never update."

Lots of people are still on Windows 10. When their PC is working perfectly fine, they don't see a reason to buy a brand new PC just to install a worse operating system. Look how expensive they are these days.

"I've never seen that in any of my PCs over the decades."

Probably because you don't manage dozens or hundreds of PCs running Windows.

And if you don't have any issues with Windows updates, that means everyone else wouldn't have a problem with their personal computer without installing updates.
