ctrl alt del then click the arrow on the shutdown button and click shut down instead of install updates then shutdown! man i hope win 10 doesnt remove that
Now with windows 10, "doing something very important and you're almost done? Let me just send your system into recovery mode while I do a manual update without you even knowing, then completely restart your system."
I'll get Windows 10 when they pry Windows XP from my cold dead grip. Sure it needs a little loving once in awhile, but at least it waits for me to do the loving..
Arch Linux, a hobbyist maintained distribution, can apply updates recompile the kernel without restarting while Windows, maintained by a full development team at Microsoft who almost hasn't touch the core source code of Windows since XP. Also, don't update to Windows 10: data collecting that can be used by Microsoft as they please and can't be disabled, peer to peer updates that use up bandwidth, and much more.
SilverStar Heggisist I build my own, and I always buy a copy of windows on CD's so that I can re-install in case of failure, I also download all major service packs. Try ripping a cd on Win Vista or above. Windows and Apple have both embedded copy protection in their OSes to be compatible with the HDMI specification so that hardware itself would refuse to record or display copyrighted material. It's called HDCP, so go ahead google it up. I realize that alot of people just stream from the internet but I'm an audio buff and prefer ripping high quality mp3's from CD's that I purchased and having the CD's as a backup. I have lost Mp3's to hiccups that were probably solar flares or spilt coffee. I then stream them every where in my house to various rooms without HDCP raising it's ugly head. Including to my home theatre which is centered around a Network connected Onkyo receiver. The ripping and a few games I still like to play that won't play on Windows 7 is really the major reasons I keep an XP box, XP knows nothing about HDCP. But honestly, I also have a Win 7 box, A Win 8 laptop. an iMac for my wife and a Linux Cinnamon 17.something box as well, as well as assorted samsung tablets, Ipad and 3 iPods and the endless smart phones. I have a media server set up and share the music and other media from the Linux box, such as pictures, some movies etc.. But I'm serious. I may never upgrade to 10. I did the registry fixes to prevent it upgrading me automatically. Anything a company wants to give you free to hook you in, isn't going to end up in your favor. When It won't let me do what I want, I will quit it all together and just stay with Linux and the old XP. Or what ever the opensource market has for software rebels like me, when that day comes. If more people were informed of issues like this, it probably wouldn't have made a difference, but it matters to me.
you don't need to lever everything just the Computer Monitor and all the rest can be turn off just leave the main box on.. Laptop. well you are just going to have to deal with it . you can also if catch the Download icon turn off half till later.
Ben Saltz your info is so biased and incorrect, u can disable data colecting, it's so simple. Lol. Linux and windows are not the same os, restarting makes the update process much safer...
I had to reinstall windows 7 the other day. SP1 was on the disk. And on top of SP1 I still had over 350 updates. 10 restarts. 1 and a half solid days of updates. It was horrible!
Caleb White http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/08/even-when-told-not-to-windows-10-just-cant-stop-talking-to-microsoft/ As someone who develops for both Linux and Windows, I can tell you that it is not safer. The only reason Windows restarts it it has to regenerate registries. The other reason is: because Windows is designed so poorly, installing anything could potentially break it. This is because no Windows software is portable. All the DLLs and other resources have to be loaded for each piece of software. This means that Windows has to restart for some of these changes to take affect because this stuff gets loaded on boot. No other operating system does it this way.
This is funny, but as usual, I think too hard about these things. There is nothing whatsoever stopping anyone from going to bed when these updates are being installed. Just turn off your monitor, go to sleep, and when you wake up, your computer will be ready to use.
More like...you in a rush to get into your computer? Let me updated some things first
ReplyDeleteThe other stupid thing is even disabling it it still shows up at times
ReplyDeleteMeh, as long as the computer is quiet enough (ergo isn't using AMD's stock cooler lol), just turn off the screen.
ReplyDeleteI made a video, was on the last photo, windows closes google, them starts 2 hour update....

Al Collard mine crashed and died. I loved my Windows Vista. But the hardware let it down.
ReplyDeletelowkie bass you mean 30 things that improve security, performance, stability, drivers, software, etc..?
ReplyDeleteJay Tech rlly? Never happened to me on win10, although I have had a slew of other problems
ReplyDeleteCaleb White I meant my windows XP crashed and burned... I'll give you a hint... Porn... Lots and lots of porn lol.
ReplyDeleteI'd get windows 10 but 8.1 RT so far doesn't have the option to upgrade.
Caleb White it happens mostly to those with Nvidia gpus running multiple monitors.
ReplyDeleteMy computer always chooses the worst times to update!
ReplyDeletebuy a Chromebook , problem solved
ReplyDeleteonly once did turning off the machine mess me up, but boy did it mess up.

Omg. The pain is when your starting your pc and it updates for like 30 mins.
