    I mean that only matters for people like us.

    99.99% of the Windows user base doesn’t give the tiniest semblance of a shit about any of that. Hell I run Windows on my gaming pc still and have never had cause to do any of that.

        I’m going to be honest with you, as often as this has been memed and for as long as I have been using Windows on my work computer, I have never once been forced to restart on the spot by an automatic update.

        I’m sure those who have will be quick to reply but at this point I’m 90% confident it’s a loud minority.

          I’ve seen an entire factory shut down for hours because two critical Win10 computers tried and failed to update. It’s never an issue until it becomes one.

          Plus a failed update is the whole reason I nuked my C: drive and switched to Manjaro (now running Arch, put down the pitchforks).

            Well, running Windows 10, a consumer user-oriented operating system, to control mission-critical machines is mistake number 1.

            This wouldn’t have happened if they had used Windows Server or something actually designed for that task (like Linux!).
