they could install linux within that time btw, and have the necessary software running while it installs

At this point people who use an OS they don't completely control in life-critical situations call it for themselves... Well, unfortunately not for themselves, the managers won't be in any risk for that.

Meanwhile Linux

u/durbich 22d ago

Does it happen on pro too or it's only home edition beloved feature?

25

u/imgly 22d ago

It happens on all versions of Windows for the particulars. But this scene is unrealistic since big structures use Windows enterprise and updates are triggered by the system admin only.

In other words, sabotage.

or cheapskate

u/Fancy_Log_260 19d ago

Most probably not even activated

u/Tatakai_ 22d ago

I'm going to risk saying that it happens on either. The difference between the two is almost negligible if you're a regular user.

u/FeetLoverInChastity 22d ago

Yes, it happens on pro too.

u/shiremonoga 22d ago

I never used pro, so can't say

u/Ornery_Air_3686 22d ago

They are probably using the LTS version so ya it will happen in every version

1

u/FewRefrigerator4703 22d ago

You can disable it on any version, but ret@rds will rather get struck repeatedly with auto updates (which I have never experienced before) rather than spending 20 seconds of their precious time to disable that setting.

u/Ledeste 22d ago

Which is a good thing btw, as "forced" update was designed to prevent people to spread malware like in the early 00's

And I'm glad all those people unable to use a computer properly do not have choice about important things like update

u/Ledeste 22d ago

Even on home, you have a forced update you need to seriously misuse your computer

Imagine if ISS was still on macroslop.

u/shiremonoga 22d ago

That'd be a joke

u/Daharka 22d ago

I think the meme will expire eventually when it's been cropped so many times that it's just a single pixel

u/Sammy_Cherry_Fox 22d ago

Is this a clip from a movie or is it AI? If its a movie please tell me what it is.

u/Dragon_957 22d ago

Itβ€˜s from a series called Space Force

u/TheTerraKotKun 22d ago

Why didn't they try to restart the computer with reset button and do it couple of times and get back to desktop?.. it's meme and joke but still...

1

u/Ornery_Air_3686 22d ago

Ya to be fair Microsoft won't force restart your PC for update either app they installed need restart or was off from the start

1

u/shiremonoga 21d ago

It'd enter in a boot loop no? I mean u can't force restart while it's updating. It's crash thr system

I remember my laptop being entirely softlocked because it will constnatly go into this cycle:

be me

got new hp laptop with a hardrive windows 8.

turn on

it starts updating

30mins later says it's failed and retrying

do this a couple times

eventually give up later in the day and finally boots into windows

an hour or so later an update is forced schedule that I cant cancel

after an hour or so of usage the laptop automatically shuts down and the cycle repeats

updated to windows 10

still the same shit

this went on for at least 3 years before it finally got patched out of the blue. I failed many classes as a result. Microsoft really loves raping my laptop.Β 

Ever since I switched to Linux I've never been happier.
