Edit: Guys I didn’t write the headline; the subtitle that I added, I’ve now fixed tho

Edit: Also, the information about there being no escape is out of date – here’s a quick guide to how to fix the problem in the modern day

    There already is a way to turn that off AFAIK but also any tech literate person should be able to tolerate a, what is it these days, monthly(?) restart of Windows.

    The point is leaving an unpatched system running is dangerous. You shouldn’t be “tech literate” and running into a problem with these updates.

    As much as I love that Linux gives more flexibility here, and I do run Linux on pretty much all of my devices, I very much agree with Microsoft that these updates need installed.

    Even “tech literate” people are often extremely relaxed with their security posture.

        I think it’s some registry thing at this point, but last I knew, yes there’s still a way to turn it off … even though you really really really shouldn’t.
