Meme transcription: Anakin & Padme
[Panel 1] Anakin tries selects “Update and shut down” from the Windows start menu.
[Panel 2] Padme, labeled as “Windows”, cheerily says: ”You mean ‘Update and restart’, right?”
[Panel 3] Anakin takes an annoyed look.
[Panel 4] Padme, still cheery, says “I’ll just ‘Update and Restart’.”
I can’t stand how windows updates are so intrusive. Sometimes I’ll leave my computer on running a task overnight and Windows will just say “Oh fuck you, I restarted halfway through the night, and then your computer sat idle for 3 hours”. And, btw, I have updates “suspended”
I’m like everyone else here, I run Linux for most of my stuff, but Windows is on one last box, and it’s just so aggravating now
How do you know if someone uses Linux?
Don’t worry, they’ll tell you
Hi, I’m a vegan Linux user, do know want to know why you’re wrong about everything?
I’m having a hard time reading this comment thru the “activate Windows” text. I gtg work starts soon, I’ll react when I get home, I work as a butcher btw.

I mean, they’re complaining about something in Windows. So without the disclaimer they’re guaranteed 20 comments saying to just use Linux.
My experience is Windows starting updates during the night, getting stuck on bitlocker, so fans are yelling at 100 until I can login
Set fan speed in bios
I had fans at the most silent setting in bios but it’s not a good fallback for those times when speedfan fails. It’s a tough compromise
“I’m like everyone else here, I run Linux…”
Erm, did you just assume my OS?
I am so satisfied with my Windows Amliorated version because it will never have Microsoft updates ever again, only through playbooks. Every bad thing is removed. I just love it and ots the first time I actually feel comfortable and not betrayed. I feel like the OS is mine and not an entity with its own desire and magic.
But of course I use Arch linux btw. Only using Windows for VR gaming
Was about to write a windows rant comment for you, but this saved you. I too use Arch btw.
But now I am curious what the rant would be about.
What are you all doing with your installs.
Literally never happened to me. Not in 1809, 1903, 1909, 20H1, 20H2, 21H1 ever.
It surely did some stuff believing it was idling while I was just surfing on my phone but it never restarted from itself. And I manage a good amount of PCs (Win 10/11 Pro) to say this is not a thing. At least not in Germany.
At a certain point, Windows decides that you’re going to update whether you like it or not. It’s one of the main reasons I stopped using it. And the updates honestly suck so hard. Such a shitty upgate process.
I’ve had it happen three times in the last ~1 year each time killing some running process that I kept my pc on for. IIRC it were robocopy backups twice and once during deep sky photography.
I get why they force updates, but resarting is a bit too much for me. Although I understand why they do it, there’s so many people just never shutting their systems down and Windows apparently just needs to reboot a lot for updates.
If you haven’t noticed it on your machines, it probably is because you keep them updated and restart them regularly (or disabled the “feature” somewhere).
