Meme transcription: Anakin & Padme

[Panel 1] Anakin tries selects “Update and shut down” from the Windows start menu.

[Panel 2] Padme, labeled as “Windows”, cheerily says: ”You mean ‘Update and restart’, right?”

[Panel 3] Anakin takes an annoyed look.

[Panel 4] Padme, still cheery, says “I’ll just ‘Update and Restart’.”

    I can't stand how windows updates are so intrusive. Sometimes I'll leave my computer on running a task overnight and Windows will just say "Oh fuck you, I restarted halfway through the night, and then your computer sat idle for 3 hours". And, btw, I have updates "suspended"

    I'm like everyone else here, I run Linux for most of my stuff, but Windows is on one last box, and it's just so aggravating now

      My experience is Windows starting updates during the night, getting stuck on bitlocker, so fans are yelling at 100 until I can login

          I had fans at the most silent setting in bios but it's not a good fallback for those times when speedfan fails. It's a tough compromise

      I am so satisfied with my Windows Amliorated version because it will never have Microsoft updates ever again, only through playbooks. Every bad thing is removed. I just love it and ots the first time I actually feel comfortable and not betrayed. I feel like the OS is mine and not an entity with its own desire and magic.

      But of course I use Arch linux btw. Only using Windows for VR gaming

        Was about to write a windows rant comment for you, but this saved you. I too use Arch btw.

      What are you all doing with your installs.
      Literally never happened to me. Not in 1809, 1903, 1909, 20H1, 20H2, 21H1 ever.
      It surely did some stuff believing it was idling while I was just surfing on my phone but it never restarted from itself. And I manage a good amount of PCs (Win 10/11 Pro) to say this is not a thing. At least not in Germany.
