I’ve enough.

Last year the automatic updater was rebooting windows without any warning after the uac prompt. The problem continued for months before being fixed

This year I got an update a week. Very annoying to get the same “why u no reboot? I need updates” question every single time I turn on my PC.

Today when updating it kills explorer.exe without any confirmation and doesn’t bring it back to life.

I don’t think that their paid enterprise customers are doing the beta alpha testers like this. Is it really necessary to push nightlies to end users? It can’t be tested casually for a couple of days then pushed?

I disabled the updates check and will update the nextcloud desktop client manually every 5 years if I can remember. Added an exception to Winget so it doesn’t update it. I lost my patience.

    Should install your apps with Scoop or Chocolatey anyway. Easy to update and without all the bullshit the usual installer wants to shove down your throat.

      Installed via Winget, the problem is that the installer is buggy and crashes explorer.exe leaving the system in an unrecoverable state (even if you run it again via taskmgr, the menu bar is broken)

        Yeah, i left winget out on purpose, becaus MS literally stole it from appget and still managed to make it bad.

      What is the parameter to use that tells apps to not auto update once they are installed?
