"Sticky Notes have been updated. Restart now or later?"

Really Windows, really?
Sticky notes update requires restart..

And they fucked it up. no ctrl-z. 😱😱😱

@magicMirror oh crap ! ( wth ? )

@gnietzsche I use it a lot when I ssh to a server. Mostly to store and edit usefull commands before I paste them into the ssh session.

And Linux users shake their head in disbelief again 😁

@Artemix Why even bother with an os that you block so much of? I mean if you only use a small percentage, I figure that's surely a sign you should consider switching.

@Artemix
May I ask what edition of Windows 10 you're using?
There's an easy way to require a request to even download the updates let alone install them though, the easy way is done with certain editions of Windows.

@Artemix get a pro license off eBay

@Artemix
You can't follow this the easy way due to your edition [0], but you can probably find it in the registry and make a change there.

@acerspyro
The education edition is the best edition. I wouldn't go for anything else.

@drmirk nope, whole system

Good alternative freeware stickies that work on Win10 that I've used for storing bits of info and bonus don't require restarting when updating (lol what was MS thinking?)

@samwir Yup. but I have my style and they have thiers.

@Artemix
To change the policy for having windows ask to download the updates and as well as install them instead of automatically doing it.

Yes because to provide best performance sticky notes has its own kernel module and it also retreives data from aliens as they have a more advanced technology. 😒

Do not use Sticky Notes. Download OneNote (force the desktop program as the default to prevent any Windows 10 app interference) and press [Win key] + [N]. You can sticky it if you like.

Microsoft actually got that product right. It's great.
