I think this is the other way around, Windows Updates always fuck up the user.
Lmao winblows I’m gonna remember that moving forward. I think I’ll be getting a lot of use out of it 😄
Wow, you must be one of today’s lucky 10,000!
(the term “Winblows” is like 30 years old. We were trash-talking Windows 95/98 with it 😂).
Have some more:
Micro$oft
Micro$hit
Microsucks
Internet Exploder
See also: Microshaft Winblows 98 (Video Game)
Micro$hit was my favourite.
that op might be a ID-1T or just a 1user. PEBKC
That’s why I always keep the machine offline when I’m setting up, then turn off or disable the Windows Update service first. Then I use the router and the HOSTS file to block every part of Micro$oft.
ok but have you tried linux
My main machine is now Linux Mint. And I have an Android phone.
Naw man, Linux is too much work
Nah. Windows is stalkerware digital slavery of the soul. It comes back with shackles. The future will make this far more clearly the case.
Won’t someone think of the investors?
Linux distros can still do…questionable things. In grad school I tried Arch for a bit, and I once was late to a video call because I had updated my kernel but did not reboot. Arch decided that because there was a new kernel installed, I didn’t need the modules for the old — but currently running! — kernel, so it removed them. So when I plugged in a webcam, the webcam module was nowhere to be found.
But yeah…somehow, still not as bad as Windows updates.
where linusx
Do Linux users still think Windows updates are unreliable? Can’t remember a breaking release, personally or for my users, for 6 or 7 years.
For me it was more about updates installing junk I didn’t ask for, undoing configurations I’ve made, and resetting my menu customizations.
Otherwise I agree - updates never actually broke my system. They just made me not want to use it anymore.
You must have missed the whole fiasco with OneDrive. I personally know people who are still recovering from that one.
I did miss it! Again, no issues for me or 75 users with varying flavors of 10 and 11.
Yes, because I also have a Windows installation and use it at work. So yeah, I do think it’s unreliable.
When I still used this trash many years ago, it gradually made my PC slower. At that, consistently with every update.
many years ago
Yeah, like I said.
