    Years back when I used windows the ‘shutdown’ and ‘shutdown and update’ acted the fucking same most of the time. Shit was driving me up the fucking wall.

      Sure you didn’t wait too long before updating so they had to force those updates?

      They force them because too many users skipped them and started to complain when things went wrong because of it.

        That is some making excuses for your abuser shit, right there!

          Don’t leave security updates hanging for over a week then. That’s when the system starts trying to actively fix your inability to utilize ANY of the update delay and scheduling options included in the OS.

          Microsoft and many other companies release updates literally the second Tuesday of each month. The update cycle is so common and decades old that there is literally a name for it, Patch Tuesday.

            Because windows ever informed me of anything like that instead of using dark patterns to force things on me without any elaboration. And windows is full of stuff like this whilist providing the users much much less control than linux. I’ve been conditioned to expect no settings for things I want on windows and the settings that are actually there to be overwriten by windows at any time without again, informing me in any way or caring about my consent. Not to mention that the settings UX is a big mess on windows and are a PITA to use.

              It literally has a link in the notification box telling you it needs to restart, to help you schedule a time and adjust active hours, and explains what that means without having to go to an online help page.

              Not sure what else you want.

                1. I see no elaboration on them forcing it anywhere in the picture.
                2. Even if they did, overriding my choice of pressing the ‘shutdown’ by force is very shitty regardless.
