I am sorry I am confused with your comment.
"They needed to open Windows Clock"
Ughm ok...and they did it? Or not idk?
"and they had to wait to install an update"
Uhm ok I guess they had work or something and wanted to update later? Idk?
These two things have some relation I am not seeing?
Oh just in Windows 11 the clock is technically an app. And that app needed an update. The clock app in windows needed an update that hey had to wait for Windows Updates to do before they could use it.
To me, that's crazy that an app as simple as "clock" requires an update to function.
Ok. I guess as some else pointed out you talking about the app with timers and all that, the clock down below works always and although it might get updated it is visible always.
Anyway yeah it's not nice, I never use that app so I didn't experience it but yeah I feel it should work even if there is an update it should allow to do it later.
Yeah I got it. Tbh I have never used it my life.
I think the main issue here specially is that it has it's own updater. And it updates when starting the app... as I got the same screen just now running it on the first time.
Not a good design for this kind of app that could work without the update.
It was the timer app, wanting to set a timer for food cooking, and the timer wouldn't operate without updating first.
