That's a you problem. Don't blame windows for shitty practices.

To be fair, it would also be highly distruptive if you let the computer run overnight to finish some long running job and Windows decides it's rebootin' time. The point is: the OS shouldn't decide for you to reboot.

Windows doesn't reboot when things are running.

Microsoft wouldn't have to force reboots if there weren't people like lunarul who keep their computer running perpetually.

Windows doesn’t reboot when things are running.

Plenty of reports to the contrary

From your link:

but the option to choose a new time was greyed out

Which only ever happened for me if I had already pushed back an update multiple times. Which then means they had all the time in the world to make sure they do the update before they start such a critical, multiple days long process. These are people without forced update they would never make updates and they are the reason forced updates have to happen now.

Like using Windows

[-] orangeboats@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago

Ackshually you still can blame Windows for not supporting live updates.

It wasnt an issue until windows 10 though. It feels like computers are a bit worse now, imo. For some reason, it's now popular opinion that it's unsafe to run a computer as long as you like. It's one of the main reasons I'll move to Linux.... some day

Not rebooting once in a while giving problems has been a thing since computers started using software.

Linux servers often run for years before having to shut down. Linux can also update without restarting (except kernel updates), if you so wish. Needing to restart frequently is a Windows problem.

[-] Psychodelic@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

I understand that, but I consider a forced restart a much bigger problem. You're more than welcome to disagree
