    ok weird one hot take: forced updates have done more for my blood pressure than for my securtiy... case in point, during a livestream, this appeared on my gaming PC.

    Windows Update

    Windows Update
We couldn't complete the updates.
Undoing changes. Don't turn off your computer.

Error code: 0x800f0922

    it kept retrying on every reboot. I know the arguments about botnets and unpatched machines, im not saying turn everything off, im saying the user should have teh final say about timing.. lmao convince me otherwise, keep it civil, please. im about to throw this thing out the window lol

    On Pro editions you can use Group Policy to defer faeture updates while still getting security updates. Thats the sane compromise for small offices: quality fixes fast, big feature changes later after others have tested them. hope that helps :)

    im firmly in the automatic camp for non-technical people. the machines that end up in botnets are almost never teh ones run by ppl who read forums :/ theyre teh ones where updates were turned off years ago.
