Comment on Microsoft is ending the Windows Update nightmare — and letting you pause them indefinitely

Normies will turn it off and never update again leaving them vulnerable. Typical microslop making people insecure over actually improving the updater to just not allow a restart until the user manually does it. But that basic QoL feature is too much effort so slop slop slop instead.

That’s the exact reason they stopped letting you disable updates permanently in the first place.
That being said, as it is currently, you already have the option of delaying the restart for multiple days. It only restarts automatically if you repeatedly delay the update for several days and ignore the multiple reminders along the way. And somehow people still complain saying their systems restart “without warning”.

I think it’ll also do it if you return after a long time. I duel boot and get hit with the “we’re doing this right now” updates, which oddly still wait a few minutes before going it, I guess so I can settle in first and get annoyed that I need to open that proprietary PPT again.
