I’ll be playing a game, and then one day it won’t work. After updating my graphics drivers, it works again. But the game didn’t receive an update, so why does it just break?

    ^This. I can tell every time my pc updates by the fact that nothing ever works correctly anymore.

    Literally just downloaded video drivers yesterday due to this, and I have the vast majority of auto updates turned off for windows… Every update moves me closer to switching Os entirely.

      You can pause Windows update for a little over a month at a time so that you’re not surprised by any automatic restarts, FYI

          Congratulations, maybe you’re already using my trick then. Not sure what your comment was meant to add.

          From Windows 10 on, the default is to automatically restart when you’re not using it, which can be annoying if you’ve got a complex workspace going and then everything gets closed overnight

            Does this on my work computer by waking from sleep occasionally. I want to hit it with a brick. Can’t change any settings due to policy configurations or shit.
