hmmm the real problem is communication. an update that says this will take 40 minutes, do it now or tonight? would end most of this dbeate. hope that helps :)

  1. ok weird one i want a real debate, not a flame war lol recently, during a livestream, an update on my work laptop failed and left me on the spinning dots.

    Windows Update

    Windows Update
    We couldn't complete the updates.
    Undoing changes. Don't turn off your computer.
    
    Error code: 0x800f0922
    

    One side says auto-updates protect people who would never patch on their own. The other side says a computer that wont boot when you need it is its own kinda security failure. Where do u land, and what do you actually configure on ur own machines?
