    My favourite kind of updates are those that happen on a Friday afternoon where you push all the buttons you think you have to, and it looks like it’s getting on with it, so you switch the monitor off and go home for the weekend, then when you come back in on Monday there’s another popup that says “you have to push this button for no reason before I’ll install these updates” and then you have to sit there watching it update because it’s sat there for the entire fucking weekend waiting for you to push that stupid pointless button.

    I wish there was a checkbox that says “Complete updates without requiring any further user input. Wanna reboot? Reboot. Wanna download some shit? Download some shit. Wanna start installing some shit? Install some shit. Wanna repeat over and over? Repeat over and over” or something like that.

      That last paragraph… WINBLOWS ALREADY DOES THIS!

      i swear it does it when it’s not supposed to. In the past 6 months my desktop has been waking up from sleep, and also me, just to start an update I was even unaware was happening. And if it’s not updating the system it sits there at the login screen.

      So I’ve started shutting my pc down before bed to avoid this happening.

      Edit: not the checkbox thing. It updates and downloads stuff sometimes without me telling it to.
