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’.”

    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.

      At a certain point, Windows decides that you’re going to update whether you like it or not. It’s one of the main reasons I stopped using it. And the updates honestly suck so hard. Such a shitty upgate process.

      I’ve had it happen three times in the last ~1 year each time killing some running process that I kept my pc on for. IIRC it were robocopy backups twice and once during deep sky photography.

      I get why they force updates, but resarting is a bit too much for me. Although I understand why they do it, there’s so many people just never shutting their systems down and Windows apparently just needs to reboot a lot for updates.

      If you haven’t noticed it on your machines, it probably is because you keep them updated and restart them regularly (or disabled the “feature” somewhere).
