This is a prime use case for a workstation and it's hard for me to believe that Microsoft didn't expose better control over updates. More than a few times, I've come to work, wiggled my mouse and been greeted with a blank desktop. It's soooo frustrating that I need to spend the first 15 minutes of my day launching applications, loading projects, digging up notes, etc... when it was all arranged perfectly just a few hours ago. Windows can figure out my likely work hours. How hard would it be for them to pop up a reminder that the machine will be rebooted overnight and give me some options? On top of that, after the reboot, Microsoft reinstalls all the bloat that I removed -- money, bing, xbox, groove, contacts, email, weather, maps, news, and others. All of them have bugs, all consumer resources, and all probably make my machine less secure. |
And that's just my personal entertainment PC. I don't know how people who have to actually do work in that environment don't throw their machine off a balcony, or quit and go somewhere that lets them use a different OS. It's infuriating. I'd go nuts dealing with trying to be productive in Win10 5 days a week.
