Windows 10 Update improvement... PING!

You can find all the Windows Ping list threads with FR search: just search on keyword "windowspinglist".

[Telepathic Intruder]

What I don’t like is the updates where the computer reboots with a blank screen that just says “Hi” for like 30 seconds. Sort of like having a weird stalker show up. Then it says “We’ve updated your computer”. Oh wonderful. Kinda feels like candy from a stranger.

I don’t like it when I have several Excel files open when a reboot from an update comes around. I have to rename the files to get them to save, I wind up adding the date to the file name.

What I need is to be able to schedule all reboots to a particular day of the week (Saturday.)

The spying?

You can install updates and reboot now or you can reboot now and install updates. The choice is yours.

Win10 has cost me about 10k now in forced upgrades AND NOW I have a “an error is detected” at every boot up with no fix in sight. F MS. But I’m stuck using Win 10.

I found this page: http://winaero.com/blog/how-to-permanently-stop-windows-10-reboots-after-installing-updates/

After I did the steps on the page it hasn't forced a reboot yet.

I tried the W7-to-W10 upgrade twice each on my laptop and desktop before reverting back to the original OS. I then ventured to try it again after several months on the laptop. I don’t use that computer much but I’ve had no issues so far.

I maintain two other computers for my relatives and one of them has a “native” W10 OS. In the course of teaching her and doing maintenance on it, I still don’t like W10. I don’t hate it, I just don’t like the redesign.

When they stop supporting W10, I’m going to switch to Mac or Linux.

I’ve been on 10 Home now for about a month. It’s useable - but 7 was better. I don’t appreciate crapware showing up in my start menu with a price tag attached. It’s like an operating system with advertising built in. And I wish I didn’t have to pay 100 bucks again to be able to encrypt files and folders. The updates don’t bother me.

I’m done. Can’t even watch a DVD without downloading an app.

It’s gone backwards, not forwards.

This weekend going back to Windows 7.

And staying there for a while.

“I do love Windows 10. For me it has made Windows into an operating system that I really enjoy using.”

Any article that starts off with this type of BS could only have been written by a complete stooge.

I still have my Dell laptop but have switch to mainly using a a Mac and IPad. Because of the nonstop crap with rebooting and all the updates.

My desktop automatically updated to Windows 10 (without my approval) and their browser Edge has never worked. I have to reroute everthing to Outlook to view it. What a joke!

[Uncle Sam 911]

Windows 10 is a virus that shows up unwanted and unannounced. I still have not found a way to get rid of it so I minimize it and use Chrome. I hate it.

[Boogieman]

Not good enough, still not ever going to use Windows 10. I’m sticking with 7/8.1 until the support runs out, then I guess I will have to find some alternative.

[afraidfortherepublic]

The most annoying feature of WIN10 is that I cannot clear my printer when it is stuck.

Have an Android - Samsung Galaxy 6s or whatever; not the latest. Have Verizon as the carrier. Not my choice - it's a work phone. It did system updates 4 times the week before Christmas. Each time it is out of commission for about 20 minutes. Three days in a row, skipped a day, then did it again. So Microsoft isn't the only one doing this insane silliness.

After switching my main home systems to Linux, had forgotten how annoying that eternal update cycle is. With my Linux (Fedora) systems, I can turn off auto-updates then I manually kick off an update once a month or two some Fri or Sat nite before bedding down.
