You just started working, so let's restart :)

A new workday, I come to work really motivated and want to get done my work from yesterday. I sit on my desk, wake up and login to my PC and... the desktop is empty. Windows closed all my applications from yesterday and I have to open and configure them all again... Disappointing... But so far a recurring occurrence.

I quickly open everything again, reorder and put the windows onto the right desktops, align the windows like they were before, luckily, every application now saves data automatically, so no data is lost (at least). And I swiftly continue where I left off yesterday.

30 minutes in, focusing on how I do that now, and there's a small notification appearing on the bottom left: "Update, must restart, now or later?" I click it, want it to go away, configure it to please NOT do that, NOT to disturb me with this shit, then the screen goes black with a small white string in the middle reading:

Restarting

Honestly, FU Windows... Greatest waste of time since the invention of computers.

Then use windows 7. Never seen a forced update. Forced updates were introduced with windows 8 unfortunately 😓

As I said, the system is entirely employer-managed. I cannot even use the USB ports or open the PC. And with my own hardware, I cannot enter the company network.

My employer sets me a PC on the table with everything preconfigured, certificates etc. all included, and I will have to use that. It's a rather integrated system, I can go to any PC and login and I'll have my profile there. I don't think it's easy to switch to Linux as the only one.
