Why do computers force updates on you at certain points? Like “screw whatever you’re doing it’s update time!” Kind of thing.
In: Technology
Because people used to put their updates off over and over and over again, and then complained when they got hit by an attack/malware that would have been solved by patching ahead of time. Also, it’s really only Windows that does that – almost every other OS gives you a choice.
A little piece of advice: Microsoft Updates come out on Tuesdays, except hotfixes for huge issues – save your work on Tuesday and leave your machine running overnight to download and install updates. You can also configure your “work hours” in the settings app, which will stop Windows from updating during your “working” time.
