>>59448669
Because normies are fine with it. This is actually quite interesting to watch. Seeing how much pounding in the ass the general clueless public will take.

>>59448669

Because the OS was designed for retads, and they don't care about how deep Microsof't dick went up their asses.

updates are downloaded at any time, and then executed when you're on your 'inactive hours'

as long as your laptop is still running, enjoy your assfucking

Install Windows 8.1

>>59449213
Yup, it figures it out without asking you.
Man, so hip.

>>59448669
In practice, it seems to have no effect, anyway. In my experience, it won't restart without prompting you if it detects actual activity. Might be an issue for automated stuff like torrenting, rendering video, etc., though. I'm not sure.

And it downloads updates whenever it feels like it, anyway, with no user control over it.

>>59449141
Sleep won't save you. I have had mine actually wake itself to install updates after I put it to sleep.

>>59449244
>updates are downloaded at any time
Yep. Which REALLY sucks on slow-ass DSL when Windows randomly decides to use your entire bandwidth for downloading updates.

You used to be able to control this with group policy if you were on Pro (Home users don't even have access to that), but that supposedly no longer works (not consistently, anyway).

Pretty much the only way I know of to stop it downloading updates is to mark your connection as metered (in which case it will only download critical security updates). This is easy enough to do with WiFi, but requires a registry hack for LAN connections, IIRC.

I'm getting pretty tired of it, personally. If I didn't have several piece of commercial Windows-only software I'm kind of bound to, I'd be off to Unix in a heartbeat.

>>59449434

use them in a virtual machine or through Wine. Or just have a work only machine, or dual boot Linux and Windows.

>>59448669
So it knows the best time to show ads. Click 'Save' goy.

>>59449434
Just download Peerblock, select the Microsoft list, block http requests too, and you won't ever get updates. Click disable to disable blocking and receive updates.

I went 8 months without updates because I thought they were just installing whenever I wasn't using my pc. It wasn't until I tried manually updating that I realized peerblock blocked Ms servers.

>>59449518
I've dual-booted before. I found it to be too much of a PITA. Some of them are too resource-intensive for a VM, and my experience in the past was that WINE was super buggy.

It's not even just work stuff, it's also Windows-only games and such.

Also, I'd probably be using FreeBSD, not Linux.

>>59449534
This "ads" meme needs to stop. There are no ads. Micro$oft does some shitty stuff, and I'm not going to defend them, but they're not stupid enough to bombard users with ads.

>>59449576
Do you even need Peerblock for that? I already have a third-party anti-virus/firewall (Kaspersky). Can't I just blacklist the M$ servers in that?

>>59449633
Peerblock lists are updated automatically every week. If you can add a remote list that updates routinely in Kaspersky, then by all means go for it.

Because you're using an OS designed for normalfags and retards

Yup it'll also start itself even if it's turned off.

>>59450295
I have completely disabled updates in my Win 10. So you can disable it if you really want to. But I'd recommend against using the OS in the first place.

Because it should let the user decide when exactly to update, not manage it for the user and allow him a minimal bit of control.

>>59448669
It's allowed because retards like you keep buying Microsoft products. Bill Gates himself could shit directly into your mount and while still on your knees you would silently pull out a 100 dollar bill and gently wipe him with it. If you don't like the forced updates, don't use Windows.

>>59454666
Well, but windows has many exclusive programs. That's the only reason I use it. As soon as Linux gets more programs, I'm gone.

>>59448731
Answer: they will take anything as long as their basic needs are met.
The majority of humanity has been slaves and serfs too complacent to rebel. Those of us who do care have already made the switch to better operating systems. If you haven't ditched Windows 10 on your personal computer in this year of 2050-33 then you are likely never going to, and will forever be complacent.

>>59448669
Because you use Windows which is fucking awful. If you keep paying for the botnet, its going to keep happening. Install /g/entoo.

Else normies won't keep their shit updated. You're putting yourself at risk as well by delaying it.

Don't like it? Disable the "Windows update" service. Manually enabled it when you want to download updates

>>59449213
but your macbook pro is made by (modern) apple and thus it's shit.

>>59448731
My wife, as normie as it gets, was coerced into updating her laptop from Windows 8.1 by her "tech conscious" friend. It's shut down to update while she was in the middle of homeworkseveral times without her consent. She fucking hates it.

There is wine for freeBSD. Do your research if you want to use *BSD

>>59453870
I dislike that updates are forced, and that'll do it without asking, but what really pisses me off is that they decided to limit "active hours" to a 12 hour time span. Fucking really? I'm in college. I regularly use my laptop for 18+ hours a day.

I'm a Microsoft fanboy and I'll defend Microsoft against complains about their forced updates and "muh botnet", but this is obviously true and it's frustrating.
Suggested apps, "Get Office" app, and Candy Crush Soda Saga preinstalled and you can't uninstall them unless you know the remove-appxpackage powershell command are all ads.

>>59457729
It use to be 8 and then people complained enough to bump it to 12. Their primary focus is businesses. I want it to be 16 hours, but I just set a time to install rather than rely on active hours.
Also you need more sleep if you are on your laptop 18+ hours, or go make some friends

>>59457687

> what is ubuntu

>>59457755
>Also you need more sleep if you are on your laptop 18+ hours, or go make some friends
I'm not on it 18+ hours everyday, but I have labs and classes from 7:45 until 5:30 every Friday, and then homework and what not that's usually due by midnight. Quite often I work up until midnight. Regardless of my sleep habits, the point is I don;t have a 9-5 work schedule and use it for more than just school, so the first and last things I do each day involve using it. I can't have Windows telling me to go fuck myself at 10:30 pm when I have a lab report due at 12. It's my fucking laptop. I should be able to decide when and when not updates are applied. Telling me to pick a 12 hour window where I use my laptop is bullshit. I use it throughout the entire fucking day, and no one is only awake for 12 fucking hours.

>go make some friends
I'm actually married, in two different academic societies, and taking 17 credits for an EE degree. My social life is fine. The point is my operating system is supposed to help Me use My computer; not tell me when I can and can't.

I've never had my PC shut down at random to update because I turn it off every night and it updates when it needs/ wants to.

dunno how many times this shit has woke me up in the middle of sleeping, there was an update tonight and I had to go up at 2am and turn my computer off because it didn't go back to sleep after updating
