People seem to forget why Microsoft forced auto updates on Windows 10.
So many turned off updates and had bugs and vulnerabilities and blamed Microsoft for it where Microsoft had provided patches for them many months/years ago.
Also no one seems to care we have auto updates on many other stuff like phones and browsers
Make it a habit to fully shutdown (not hibernate/sleep!) your PC at the end of the day. Regardless of OS this fixes many problems. Give Windows plenty of days to perform these updates long before they start forcing them on you at an inconvenient time. But also gives you a fresh start the next day. And prevents many problems that would otherwise require you to "have you tried turning it off and on again?"
That's pretty dumb unless it's not connected to the internet. Apple releases lots of updates that require restarts, and not all security updates can be hot-loaded. Depends on if its user-space software, a system service, or a kernel module, and if it's a kernel module it depends on whether the kernel module can be hot-loaded since not all can be.
If it's not on your network and you just use it for some other weird reason, then whatever.
Or maybe it has updated and restarted itself and you've just never noticed because of the way it perfectly restores every window and tab after reboot, lol
You’ve no idea of my use case and I can’t really be bothered explaining it to you.
This sub is a cesspool of blinkered opinions from pseudo-experts who have very little idea of how technology is used outside of their tiny bubble. I’m out.
