FR's "nginx" webserver is having a bad case of hiccups... again!
I stopped updating Windows years ago. I simply use a separate computer for browsing and another for my business transactions with bank & broker. With the result I never need virus protections, and computers run faster.

I didn’t see this in my list of updates so that’s a good thing.
Good old Microsoft. Did you know that if you push the update forward in time that the updates might still occur when you power up your computer. Well sort of. What a shock to see windows start such an update. Take half an hour until it is almost finished. Then notice that it was not supposed to be done. So it displays a message that the update could not be completed and that windows will revert back to before the update. Which takes another half an hour. So an hour later you can finally use your computer. Wonderful Microsoft.
They (updates) have definitely been CRAP lately.
I have a Win10 tablet. A couple of weeks ago, I started trying to update it from 1803 to 1903. It would crap out, not fully install, reboot, etc. I finally gave up and used a Macrium Reflect disk image to return to 1803.
Then, Windows decided to upgrade from tablet to 1903. It still suffered the same problems: the download would glitch out, the install would be only partial, it would reboot-glitch-reboot-glitch. I did finally get a good install, but it lasted about 2 days until the next MS update. Glitch glitch glitch.
Yesterday, it was working great. Today it has been glitching every time I get past the log-on screen. After a dozen attempts/reboots/glitch-outs, I gave up.
I only use the Win10 tablet for radio streaming and an occasional live stream program. I hope my Win7 laptop and Desktop continue to work.

I think my updates get done automatically. I mean I get a reminder that an update will be done during the time I’ve set to allow for updates to be done, but honestly, I don’t always pay attention to those messages.
Should I be checking to see if the latest update is okay before I allow it?
ok, anyone have an issue doing a system restore right after a windows update? I did one last night and wow- it took about 1-1/2 hour or so- i thought it was stalled, but just let it go- finally it finished -
also- anyone have trouble playing some DVD’s on windows 10? A friend is doing courses and was able to just plop the DVD’s in the computer- windows media would open up- and play- no worries- then all of a sudden awhile back, DVD’s he had played no longer play- installed VLC and still wouldn’t play for some reason- gotta go through some convoluted process of opening the DVD “Video TS” File, in VLC, and clicking on ‘add to play list’ , and then it can play the video - He said it seemsl iek somethign got hosed during an update or something (Note, certain DVD’s do work liek movies- but weirdly abotu 1/2 of the course videos don’t work unless it’s doen the way described)
I hate ocm0uters! And Spelling!
I remember when a Windows Update was putting in the screen for the summer :)
Do Not Install This Update
??????
Is this reverse psychology?
How do you not install an update?
I just spent far too long trying to figure out why my wife’s W-10 laptop was slow as hell. (I stick with W-7)
Wireless connection, lots of “A script is slowing..” etc. never seen before, constipating things.
She wanted to keep the updates going against my opinion.
Never did figure it out. Extended the Dell service period, and voila! it sped back up, somewhat.
Tinfoil hat time?
But of course that's my Windows 10 hard drive. I still primarily work off my Windows 7 hard drive, and soon I'll have my Linux Mint hard drive fully operational with Windows 7 in Virtualbox.
Yep, you heard that right, I got three hard drives, all with different operating systems, but it's primarily Windows 7 for me baby!
Thus I usually delay updates (up to 35 days) and prevent auto reboots. Thank God for options.
Your choices are “update and shut down” and “update and restart.”
Hoping for the best.
