I know very well what you're talking about LOL

My computer reboots a couple of times whenever i turn it on cause it tries to install Windows updates ... Failing every single time

I tried everything to disable updates, even brute killing wuauserv (the win update service) and preventing it from starting again

It does seem impossible to stop it!

@binarywriter it pretty much is. I used both Windows and Linux until a while ago when Windows updated and then completely fell the fuck apart afterwards. Wouldn't boot and just black screened. Lost so much work because of it and I was furious. So I wiped it and installed ElementaryOS on it and it's been a fantastic change. So now both of my laptops are just Linux. Trying to convert my wife off Win10. But she says Linux scares her.

@AndSoWeCode that sounds shitty, but also fixable. There was no fixing my win10 after that update.

@AndSoWeCode remember, bluetooth and wifi are probably on the same chip, using the same antenna... Ubuntu + WiFi = Nope

@AndSoWeCode I don't know what do you use for bluetooth but just try "apt-get remove --purge package-name" and then install it again, for me it would be something like "sudo apt-get remove --purge bluez"

@AndSoWeCode approx 30 minutes on an SSD

@AndSoWeCode the rare occasion? The last time I had a stable and reliable Windows install was back on 7. And hours on a reinstall usually unless you got an SSD. I think Ubuntu is your problem in general lol. Like Elementary is Ubuntu based but it hasn't given me the same issues Ubuntu has.

Probably the reason I stopped at win 8.1

Linux users, check my last rant to see an example
