Windows updates are a humiliation ritual. They serve as a reminder of the fact that "your" computer is not actually yours, and "your" data doesn't belong to you either. It belongs to the narcissistic psychopaths that own Microsoft and to their glowBlack person buttbuddies that get all a copy of your data. Psychopaths love personal information. Think a guy walking around with a notebook and camera taking creepshots and writing down information about his crush is creepy? These companies have the equivalent of thousands of books of information on you, plus every private message and photo you've given them.
Just disable updates
I can't help but notice the overlap between people who are crying about updates and forced restarts and people who are too stupid to disable windows updates.
No matter what you do windows will still force close everything, making you lose progress (and corrupting downloads, transfers, installs, and everything you leave to finish overnight) and you'll wake up in the morning with it asking for your login password. Doesn't matter if you change the policies, registry, or some setting.
I can't turn off updates on my work PC. I don't have those kinds of privileges.
I mean, I'm sure I can figure it out but getting caught would be worse than the annoying updates.
>Stop pressing the power button while updates are installing
I did that several times on the windows 7 days. Nothing ever broke. Nowadays updates are so fast I don't have time to press the power button.
third party here, i can confirm.

win XP already was malware-
W XP install prevented you from downgrading to W98. unless you used W95's fdisk (format util) (i am not joking when i say i used all wins since w 3.11)

if its still updating then clearly you haven't disabled updates
Windows ignores those settings
You are really proving my point here
You are severely mentally ill.
You have lost this internet fight...
You are too stupid to tuen off windows updates, you shouldn't even be posting on IQfy
Face it, lil bro. You've embarrassed yourself on IQfy. Time to close the tab forever.
no i don't, you schizo moron
Okay, which tiktokker tweeted about it this time?
i hate it these fricking mimics
>2024
>people still filtered by updates

Then just update it while you arent compiling, your emails and browser tabs will still be there afterwards

Does linux have this same problem?
Hmm I don't know. Let me check
*checks*
It does not appear to have this problem. Can I get third party verificiation?
third party here, i can confirm.

>t.runs 5.11 kernel on my work macheen
Yes
Sure turn off your pc in the middle of installing updates in the terminal and tell me how it works out for you
Linus will also break if you turn it off while its installing updates

>Doesn't work, so check the memory management
>Hardware failure, so check every ram stick I have
>Two ram sticks died, pull them out and use my two remaining good ones
>Still runs slowly
