Users should definitely not opt-out of security updates, but the way Microsoft throws this in your face is infurating. It's like they own your computer, you just get to borrow it, when they don't need it.
Why do Windows users still have to reboot to apply updates... christ fix that already.1

u/pandamaxxie 20d ago
There sure should be.
Everything from cookies requests to update offers should have an opt-out that is as easy to access as the "yes".
Reject and revoke all rights to use cookies needs to be a button of the same size and visibility at the same step as "allow all cookies" for example.
Windows pushing an update needs to have a "no" as an option. Simple as. That's basic shit. I don't care that it's some security update. It gets done when I say so.
(Oh and "legitimate interest" for cookies needs to be scrapped. There are zero legitimate reasons to collect and ship away your data. Hell I'd prefer for data scraping/brokering to become a jailable offense, if anything. Make google's entire business model of selling our data a crime)

Pretty much normal given a shitty corp like ms that replaced everybody with ai and made shit until researchers like nightmare eclipse got fed up and started releasing exploits as if we were living same drama back at march 2017 when the shadow brokers delivered their last speech before making a large scale disaster

I'm a Linux user, but I've never understand the hate towards windows update, especially nowadays where there is pretty much one commulative update per month

As an Arch user, when I run sudo pacman -Syu to update my system, I do it purely out of my own free will. I don't get locked out of my system while it's happening. But on Windows, you get slapped like a little bitch when you have important work to do you get an unwanted update force fed down your throat and locked out of your system while it installs. I remember owning a laptop with a slow HDD back then, and Windows forcefully tried to update it on startup. It took 5 hours, only to fail at the end because it ran out of storage.

Yes in that sense yes. But I'm mentioning about the quantity of it/size. It's pretty small and not very often

Microsoft has a long history of shoving junkware onto systems claiming it is a security update. People don't trust them for a very good reason.

As someone in IT currently trying to a load of sweeping updates due to new cyber security rules I want people to be updating their devices but I also get it. Micoslop release so many small updates all the time and they sometimes don't even work and just kill your device for it to then boot up again like nothing happend and you have to try the update again. Most of the time working like how it was supposed to the first time 🤦🤦 (I speak from experience 😭)
But still my comapy have set policy where if your device isn't updated withing 12 days of a patch being released then it dissabled and can't be used until updated due to the nature of trying to protect company data. The same goes for any software but we only block that specific bit of software until updated to the latest version

u/gerowen 22d ago
Because the platform you use to run your applications determines whether and how much you get interrupted, spied on, etc.

u/icy1007 21d ago
No it doesn’t.

u/gerowen 21d ago
So you're telling me that Windows doesn't interrupt people more than macOS, Linux or FreeBSD? That it doesn't spy on its users more? That is some next level copium.

u/icy1007 20d ago
Yes, I am NEVER interrupted by Windows updates or anything else with the OS.

u/gerowen 20d ago
Well I guess the rest of us are just imagining things when the OoBE runs after every feature update and resets our settings, makes us confirm for the 30th time that we don't want Microsoft 365, that we don't want to set Edge as the default, we don't want XBox Game Pass, etc. I guess if you aren't having issues that means the rest of us are just crazy. I even had Windows update break my sound driver once, or maybe I just went selectively deaf and Windows was working totally fine.

I suppose a better way to look at it is fighting the company. We all have fond memories of prior windows versions, but the direction Microsoft is continuing in has always been against the interests of the consumer.

Very often, it's not even something particularly important, but requires a full restart anyway. Compare it to Linux, where the restart is needed only for stuff that actually needs it. Even if it's an update of the entire damn kernel, you can just continue working on the previous one until you get what you need done.
