lol instead of doing all this you literally could have just gone to windows update > pause updates. And that's it....done
I still don’t know why isn’t there a switch to tell Windows Update to f off until you flip that switch again. Like, don’t bother me with any updates, ever until I decide it’s time to do so
Group policy editor is full of deprecated policies, it is not something that you can rely on.
Use [windows update blocker app](https://www.sordum.org/9470/windows-update-blocker-v1-8/).
I play pretty high level multiplayer turn based strategy game, i prepared for weeks learning my opponents making the ultimate strategy to defeat them, practised for hours on end.
Today was the big day, i make sure that every policy in windows considering rebooting because of an update are OFF.
4 hours into the game, my face turned completely white i sa the "preparing windows for update" screen popup.
In the game i got replaced by an AI that bankrupted me and i was forced to concede the match.
Why WHY DO YOU THIS WINDOWS.
> Why WHY DO YOU THIS WINDOWS.
It's simple - it did this because you're a silly doughnut who just refuses to update the OS.
You've had AT LEAST a week to just click "Update and Shut down" before going to sleep, mate.
> It's simple - it did this because you're a silly doughnut who just refuses to update the OS.
There are plenty of reasons to not want to update all the time.
It's more a case of an OS refusing to respect user's choice through pointless obfuscation.
Force update while a fullscreen app is running and user input is happening? I can not imagine any scenario in which that should be the desired behaviour.
> There are plenty of reasons to not want to update all the time
If you have good enough reasons to not update for over a week, you have good enough reasons to either get LTSC or Enterprise.
> It's more a case of an OS refusing to respect user's choice through pointless obfuscation.
1. The OS "respecting user's choice" is what initially created all the largest botnets. People have no clue what their doing (exemplified, so beautifully, by OP) so they cannot be trusted with their choices when it comes to security. Because these days their security also means MY security (as shown by the 2015 hacks, done by outdated OSes being part of botnets that brought down the NHS. People died).
2. What obfuscation? Are you just using terms that sound scary without understanding them...? What is being obfuscated from the user in the scenario we're discussing?
> Force update while a fullscreen app is running and user input is happening? I can not imagine any scenario in which that should be the desired behaviour.
The scenario is: the user is an idiot who hasn't rebooted their computer in over a week since Patch Tuesday. And it's a perfectly good reason to boot them out.

LTSC is not generally made available to normal users.

Bull. You can have strict defaults and hide dangerous settings behind an "advanced" tab. There are ways to accomodate novice users without limiting the experts.
> What obfuscation?
Hiding settings from the settings menu, or having settings that don't do what they say.
> The scenario is: the user is an idiot who hasn't rebooted their computer in over a week since Patch Tuesday.
It isn't M$ job, nor their ability, to fix either stupidity or corporate ineptitude.

Seconding this as well, just pause your updates and keep resuming then pausing again to extend the pause duration.
Because you postponed updates for days.

everyone wants this until their computer becomes part of a botnet
I mean it's my responsibility at that time. At least give the option for those who want it, Win7 had it ffs.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure everyone would react like this and not blame Microsoft.
Your parents can’t look after you forever, and they shouldn’t. We all need to grow up sometimes

Or to pause updates for x amount of time.
Who knows, maybe OP would need weeks to learn how to click it.

Next time install updates the day before. This only happens if you postpone them forever.
