    Can’t say I’ve experienced forced reboots on either my home or work PC; I always have gotten an option.

    Do you have to ignore updates for a while until they’re forced? I’m pretty quick with updating when I’m notified- typically that evening when I’m done with the computer.

    I’ve been building my own windows PCs since 99, using every main version of consumer Windows except ME. Never been forced while in the middle of something.

        The updates quietly happening in the background are still a problem because they can’t be paused or canceled and they use a lot of sysrme resources to get done. And when they’re complete, your experience is less stable till the reboot.

        I usually notice them when my work computer slows down and things start having more bugs than usual. My work computer has very respectable specs

      I agree, but this echo chamber doesn’t accept such alternate realities.
