Microsoft is giving users more control over system updates.
And, for once, some of what it can do looks genuinely useful.
Google Reportedly Set to Launch Tool Revealing Battery Degradation Over Time for Phones and Tablets, Says Android Authority.
Introduced in iOS 17.1 and watchOS 10.1, NameDrop is a novel feature that facilitates the sharing of contact information between nearby iPhones and Apple Watches by holding them together.
That's certainly an improvement. But it doesn't solve the main problem: forced updates. This is my PC, which I bought and paid for. It's unacceptable to have an outside intruder force changes into my system unless I agree to the changes explicitly. Even then, I need to be able to choose individually what to change (e.g., security, individual apps and tools, hardware-component drivers). This is the way Windows 7 works, and there is no reason for Microsoft to usurp that power from the legitimate Windows users with 10.
What about the advertisements? Or the fact that I can no longer control my own operating system?
I cant tell you how annoying it is that whenever I have some important work on my pc, it warns me that in 5 minutes it will reboot and update regardless. It cares more about a bullsh*t update than about MY WORK! ME! THE PERSON WHO BOUGHT THE DAMN THING IN THE FIRST PLACE!!
Windows 10 is so damn unstable piece of...., when the updates starting rolling in my PC got so damn unstable, random freezes, 4 hour update, unable to lock my screen, unwanted windows updates I can't disable, unable to turn ON my PC from sleep mode, etc. Good thing I did a dual boot well actually I had a triple boot the other OS is Ubuntu :D, so now windows 10 is gone from my PC and went back to Win7, so everything is good, oh btw I was using Win10 pro.
