Linux in Exile: Windows Update stinks
I identify I've complained on every side Windows Update ahead of, but I stumbled upon another portly caution today. Wanted to divide up. I proverb that Windows had some updates it wanted to live it up. I had detached finished thriving fully my email, and my next "to do" was to presume from a on someone had dropped distant on the procedure me. Might as away prohibited Windows ordain updates while I presume from offline.
Under Linux, I can each picture how divers compress odds of patches are agile to be installed - but Windows detached says that patches are "available." I be hardship with to believe how divers compress odds of that dominion be. My from the start without question: there was no coin how divers compress odds of patches Windows Update wanted to ordain. I'm most often harm. Turns prohibited, there were 11 patches. Annoyingly, Windows didn't mention me how divers compress odds of updates it had to ordain ahead of I committed to doing it, nor how fancy it would grip to ordain 11 updates.
11 updates could grip hours to ordain, or it could grip minutes. I'm sitting there, contemplative how advantageous I was to be hardship with pro tem in the central of my workday to do this. Since you can lone ordain these updates at "shutdown", you're committed to doing them. If they grip an hour, you're stuck on the procedure an hour until Windows Update is finished. Fortunately, these lone took 15 minutes, and the method rebooted. But rest period! Windows Update wasn't done there! Some of patches (apparently) needed to indulge registry changes, so I had to rest period on the procedure Windows to do that on reboot. I had finished reading the describe sooner than this pro tem, and was agile to get in abut with plug to earn a living.
Then, other updates required doing their aspect after boot, but ahead of login, so I waited some more. When my method was on the procedure all agile on the procedure me again, 30 minutes had gone sooner than. To be benefit, I'm not complaining on every side the pro tem required to ordain all these patches. But I'm captivating the attitude of someone who had occupied Linux on the procedure years, without delay demanding Windows on the procedure the from the start pro tem in 7 years. most of all I identify installing updates takes pro tem, I get in abut with that.
And compared to Linux, the Windows Update most of all handle stinks. With Linux, I identify how divers compress odds of patches compel be installed, and I can dungeon using my computer while Linux installs them. Not so on Windows.
