The Windows update situation is one of the primary reasons I've switched all my machines to Linux. It's infuriating to open my laptop for something quick - either to show someone something or to get some work done on the bus - and be greeted by an inescapable update screen that lasts minutes.

latest news are that MS is phasing out the forced updates or at least letting all users no matter which edition of windows they are running to postpone updates. this will go live with the next big update 19H1 which should be out in a month.

Yeah, I'm not exactly Linux Desktop's biggest fan, but most of my computers have been switched to Lubuntu just because of this horrific user-hostile forced update bullshit.
