Anyone else get sick & tired of updates? Why can't software just update automatically!
It drives me mad
It drives me mad
Weeeeeeeeellllllllllll............... so it wasn't so long ago that:
Once a month letting Windows do it's thing (and it politely asks you when you want it done, and even saves your docs and does a decent job of restarting the apps you'd been running [caveat: Windows 10]) ain't so bad...
- Software didn't tell you it had to be updated
- Updating was a manual chore
- You couldn't update more than one app at a time without rebooting (a Windows issue, to be fair)
- If you needed to get from version 13.1 of something to version 15.7 you needed to figure out which updates to install in which order
- Updating almost guaranteed some kind of obscure error, sometimes in the thing you were updating but just as likely in some other seemingly unrelated application
I think we can all quote exceptions to the accepted rule. I hate to redo the whole Windows 10 thing (especially as this is a welding forum, not a computing forum) but most corporates (including the last four that I've worked for) are Windows 10 all the way because of predictability and stability.oh i agree with the rest of it but not windows 10 the most biggest ... you can get for a system does what it likes when it likes crashed many pc,s killed computers a new install had to be performed on many a machine
and its still killing pc,s last one i had was last week owner had lost both keyboard and mouse control thanks to an update was forced to go out and buy a usb and keyboard just to get it back working again not even system restore would bring it back
Now that is crazy!Could be worse, guy I work with couldn't turn off his bedroom light the other day, turns out it was doing a software update...
