And I like Windows Updates. They do actually add new features now.
Don't understand why updates annoy people so much. Probably because they leave their PC running for days and keep putting them off until Windows literally forces you to restart your machine. But if you're a normal person who shuts down their PC on a regular basis, the updates literally never bother you. They quietly download in the background and then install the next time you go to shut down your machine. You don't even have to think about it.
Edit: If ads and AI are the reason why you hate Windows updates, consider installing O&O Shut Up 10 (it works in Win11 too). Or just switch to Linux.
That's just not true. I never had a habit of having my pc run 24/7, and windows updates bothered me immensely since win 7
Do you have a habit of closing the update notifications? The more you tell Windows Update to fuck off, the more it'll bother you. I literally never get those notifications anymore because I stopped ignoring them. It also helps to manually set your active hours if you haven't already.
I just don't trust major updates not to break something (with good reasons). I have to have a working pc, so I update when I have half an hour of free time to install and roll back if need be.
Well there you go.
"there you go" as in "thank you for explaining why a forced unexpected update from your os in the middle of your work could bother you"?
you're welcome
Look, I'm not saying I agree with it, I'm just explaining why Windows keeps bothering you, and what you need to do to stop it.
The problem since has been solved, I was replying to your initial position of it never bothering normal people, which is incorrect
