It’s considered new and ground breaking when Microsoft copies Google Chrome. Who says 2020 can’t hold any more strange surprises?
Time to make sure all my computers think my network is a “metered connection”. Windows update is much more polite about asking to update with that setting so I can update in a couple of weeks at my convenience rather than opening my computer and finding out it has been rebooted without saving files.
My favorite part is how I have ALL updates turned off but it updates anyway.
I saw that update on my system but have been hesitant to install it.
I expect an OS to run my programs, manage a filesystem, and enable the installed hardware to work properly - for weeks and months on end without crapping itself or demanding to be restarted. My $35 Raspberry Pis do that very nicely, maybe some day Win 10 will be able to do so as well.
The last thing I need are “toys” from Microsoft. I’m old enough to remember Bob the Paperclip.
Confused. I’ve had the new Edge for 2 months!
Later
I’ll have to check on my home computer if 2H20 is available yet. Microsoft stopped offering Windows 10 Version 2004 because of compatibility issues with the local hardware on my Intel NUC computer.
“Nothing that will drop your jaw” - except maybe the 46 minute restart after the update.
I love when I go to shut down my computer it tells me “shut down and update”. When I hit that, the next screen tells me “computer is updating, do not shut down”, which it then does. Real tech savvy bunch...
I dont know if I was ever a “fan,” but I got used to the issues and continual crashes over the decades. Now I have both a Dell, and a MacBook Pro... while there are a few operations on the Mac that are not straightforward, so far in the 9 months I’ve been using it, it hasn’t crashed or even burped. We shall see if this Windows update shifts my perspective.
So long as the update arrives Covid Cooties-free so I don’t have to wear a mask or stand two yards away from my desktop, I’m good with it (virus-checking has taken on a whole new meaning in 2020, y’know.)
