Hey! You there!
Are you sick of windows 10 sending you intrusive reminders about updates? Are you tired of random unscheduled restarts? Tired of feeling like you have no control over your own computer?

Take back control!
DO THE FUCKING UPDATE, YOU FUCKING INCOMPETENT, USELESS, LAZY, PIECE OF DRY WANK!

Seriously guys: pick a time convenient to you, and take 5 or 10 minutes (when you're likely spending hours at your computer), and do them. Not only will you get rid of the annoying notifications, but you'll also keep your pc safe and secure by keeping up with security patches. C'mon people, it's really not that difficult.

And can we please, for the love of all things holy, stop the circlejerking? You're developers, you are the computer proficient. The only things a PC will do are the things you tell it to do. Dig deep, dig into the registry, dig into the services manager, dig into the fucking settings cos a good number of the most common complaints can be fixed in the basic options menu. Tell your computer to stop doing the things you don't like and it will stop.

It's really not hard!

    @7root before you turn off your computer, check if there are any updates. If there are any minor updates, do them, reboot and shut down. Leave the major ones till a more convenient time to you

    It is fucking trendy to whine on Windows and Microsoft. Kids think that it is cool to do so.

    Microsoft has some very good tools. And even windows could be considered a good product. Overall... not for developers though. Unless you're stuck developing for windows. Then, good luck

    @Torbuntu Change companies? Not having any control over my machine would drive me crazy.

    @Player2 I use linux. Not a problem when I can install updates at the same time while I'm using it.

    Use a cloud or VM instance of Windows instead of on a real computer. That way, you can initiate updates, disconnect, and not wait for anything. Turn Windows into just another application window. You will feel much much better.

    I am using windows for around 5 years now. And using the windows 10 insider fast ring for last 1 year. I get more update then normal people. (New os update every month). Not a single time windows automatically restart to update. It always ask and I always snooze until I want to update.

    I don't know how to fuck your window is start update without your permission.

    Of course I'm going to delay it as long as I can so Microsoft can fix their update before I have no choice but to update. This forced update may then break my computer like it did a few months ago. 👍
