    I don’t get it. I never had my PC randomly updating itself without my consent. I simply keep my OS updated like everyone should. I do this by installing the update once I get notified (I simply update when I shut the thing down). Why is everyone so weird about this? Or is this a home edition problem? Don’t use home edition.

      Tbf I do this too but sometimes Windows will shut down after an update and next time I start it it will “configure my PC”, restart once more and then show me the login screen. Doesn’t even take 5 tho. The worst thing however is when I start my laptop and login, just for Windows to decide it’s updating rn. However this is usually happening at work so I suspect that the update server on the domain pushes an urgent security update that can only happen once a user logged in. Still super annoying but doesn’t take more than 5 minutes.

        No, not any longer. In Windows 11 “update and shutdown” includes a reboot in-between and then shuts off. The only way you get this these days is to “update and reboot” and manually shutting off the computer during BIOS initialization.

        Ok, this I can relate to. I often sat down at my desk the next morning just to see that the PC is running. Electricity is kinda expensive where I’m from, so this pisses me off.

      I’ve had way too many Windows updates fuck my shit up, so I wait as long as possible to update so they have a chance to fix what they broke by the time it gets rolled out to my machine.

      I use home edition and never had this problem. EU windows is much better though, maybe this is a USA windows thing.

        Right. It’s easy to forget that M$ has two versions of шindows
