Does anyone have dual boot Linux/ Windows and also have problems with the slow-ass periodic updates Windows shoves down your throat, needs to do multiple restarts for, but gets stuck at the grub bootloader?

It's really annoying the next time you need your PC quickly you're forced to standby for 2 hours.

bootloader

windows update

grub

    Hmm.... Seems to me like disabling Windows updates would solve all your problems...

    I have used the previous version of this script on a couple machines and everything's nice and disabled for months now

    Nope, sorry, I don't have that issue :) https://unraid.net/

    I just connect with nomachine/x2go to my linux machines and use windows most of the time, that way windows is always updated and I still have all the beauty of linux.

    @RememberMe tried a bunch, it is the only one that just works (clipboard, remote cursor, fullscreen, audio) and also is fast and artifacts free haha

    Not sure what bootloader you're using, but I use grub2 and have it set to autoselect the last booted OS after 10 seconds. This allows me to walk away while updates are running and it boots back into windows to finish up.

    Remind me to restart this thing before I go to sleep.
