Damn you windows Update! DAMN YOU! It's been 20+ years of annoying!!! Gaahhhhh Sorry that was a LONG time coming. I feel better now.
Thanks for reminding me to do the update before I go home.
Errr, waiting 6 months sounds like a bad idea. Those security updates also double as announcements to hackers giving them clues on how to take advantage of whatever is getting updated.
I always turn off windows update, and do it manually once every 6 months. I don't want another memory sink program running in the background.
In fact I turn off any program updaters on my computers.
I usually do windows updates manually. But for whatever reason, it was on automatic. I wish my angry post was because Windows update interrupted something important. It has in the past, many times.
But no, today I just about to beat Smelter Demon on NG+1 in Dark Souls 2 (I have a freakin hard time with this boss) when my controller suddenly lost its connection and before I could remedy it, I was killed since my character was just standing there like an idiot. Turns out a windows update interfered with my controller. Grrr…. that is so annoying. Windows update always happens at the most annoying possible moment, like they're watching me on some crazy video camera… hmmm better look into my Samsung Smart TV voice recognition and make sure it's off.
I see only one cure to this "problem".
Uninstall grinders!
I leave windows update on, but I changed a setting so it downloads by itself automatically, and doesn't bug me with popups. When I go to shutdown instead of 'Shutdown' now it says 'Update and shutdown', totally transparent to me.
