Fuck windows update. Fuck Microsoft for sending daily updates. Fuck everything about windows update. Fuck bill gates. And again fuck windows update

Windows update just corrupted a fresh installed Windows 10 👌

i've had the update blown off (because yeah, disabling doesn't do anything, but you can blow it off by changing like 3 registry values and renaming 2 exe files or so) for about the past year, and i've never been happier with my windows 10 <3

this "needs to be updated constantly otherwise it's dead!" culture is stupid :(

The worst of it is you just want to shut down and call it a night after working for 12 hours straight but nooooooo Windows is preparing updates please don't turn your machine off goddamn sumbitch piece of shit on a motherfucker asshole then it doesn't switch off for 30 minutes because it wanted to install the updates but was still downloading the fucking updates hrrgrggrgrggrggrggrrrrrrrrrrr *foaming mouth*

In my opinion for 99.99 % of Windows users the updates are a really good thing. At least it works fine for me.
The last situation where an update crashed a PC was some years ago when my father switched off the PC during update (even when it was stated in fat letters “Do not turn off your PC”) - comment from my father was “It took so long...” After that nothing worked and I had to reinstall everything. So sometimes the problem is sitting in front of the PC...
What should I say...

Okay

@Midnight-shcode Because who needs security, right?

Set up Active Hours and stop whining.

@kamen exactly. Windows even suggests active hours automatically based on your usage so updates don't disturb you.

too many fucks given

@frogstair The usual "It's Windows, it fucks up by itself". For the record, I've been running the same instance of W10 with no clean re-installs (only new Insider builds) for 5 years.

Simple solution:

USB Stick. External harddrive. Anything with enough space.

Get newest ISO from Windows, put it on ANOTHER USB stick.

Then nuke everything.

Update Bios, Firmware, everything.

Start Windows Install.

Shift … F10...
Clear the disk with diskpart.

Reboot.
Install.

Restart, finish installation.

First backup (full including partition table).

Install everything.

Second backup (full including partition table).

Label the stick / harddrive. Put it somewhere safe.

Done.

I hope you've got enough stamina for all that fucking!!

PSA: just disable the fucking update service and shut the hell up, it's windows and most of you have intel processors, you're exactly as vulnerable patched vs unpatched. "i can't it's a work laptop" boot disk or sethc.exe replacement and disable it via registry key

@sbiewald i'm pretty secure that no MS update will brick my machine, thankyouverymuch.

also what the commend directly above mine said.
