Fair enough. My experience on Mac has been pretty bad compared to Windows but to be honest there could be recency bias there. I use Mac every day for work and don’t use Windows very often but at least Windows has never suddenly closed all my apps because it decided it was time to update.
I think you got lucky then, windows is known to do exactly that. Well, these days it at least gives you a warning that it will do it in 15 minutes or so.
That is crazy because that’s literally what windows is known for haha. My wife’s gaming computer has restarted probably six times just this year without her wanting to just to install updates.
What I’m guessing is happening is that your work has MDM enabled on your device and forces the updates through. That’s exactly what happened with the Mac work computers I’ve had while my home Mac laptops have never done that.
Yeah it sounds like I’m just out of touch with the modern Windows usage experience by the sound of it. It really sucks that it’s gotten so bad, I would be so pissed off if that happened when I was playing a game or something.
I thought the Windows update system is actually not too bad. At least compared to Mac.
Yea, it has a robust rollback system, which is part of why it takes so long now.
But… I only do updates a couple times a year to minimize the headache on my personal machines.
My work machines it’s not my problem, but I reboot them at night a couple times a week, just in case.
Compared to Mac? Mac’s is so much better? The number of times windows has fucked me over by updating on a restart.
