Windows 10 Updates- LONG

Seems to be lots of them aswell. Ive packed up with the laptop and gone back to my £30 2nd hand tablet. First week it required 7 restarts, by day 8 it wanted more updates installing so i did them and havent been back on it in 4 weeks. Ridiculous amount of updates and as you say they take a good 30 minutes to configure.

The hard drive on my laptop gave up a few weeks ago. It was worth paying the fella in the shop to fit a new one, simply because he could install Windows 7 on it. (Not sure how straightforward that would otherwise be for a private punter such as myself.)

If it weren't for the fact that Gruss only works on Windows, I'd never touch anything Microsoft again.

The whole philosophy of continuous updates is absurd, products wanting to update every few days is mad.

Doesn't take a very bright spark to realise that a windows pc has 1,000's of individual software units on it and thus if
all of them are allowed a free range to update when they want it will have an impact of a few hours a week on the computer.

I've turned off automatic updates, and just do it manually twice a year, even then it can take 2-10 hours each time.

It's my computer, I paid for it, so phuuuuuuuck right off hijacking it and excluding ,e from using it 5 times a week and or shutting down because they want it whilst I'm using it.

Outrageous, didn't think this overbearing strategy would last but it has

what most people don't realise is that unless you dig into the settings and turn it off, your computer is being used as a server to update other computers.

double whammy

They AFAIK hide the setting for disabling the auto updates in windows 10 but you can do it via disabling the service. Have they removed Paint yet?

I use that for editing my monopoly bank football bet screenshots, so avoiding windows 10 :)

still have Paint on my Win 10 machine.
