“We increase the disk/ram consumption, reinstalled edge for you (you can’t scape) and added a few ads somewhere. Have fun!”
I’ve never had issues with windows not honoring settings after an update.
The new update was candy crush! You uninstalled it before, but we think you were mistaken.
We saw you uninstalled candy crush. We fixed that for you.
Linux updates: here’s the whole new desktop, GUI, appstore, start menu analog, and you can now summon a demon to do your bidding (no gui yet, you have to use the terminal until next update)
1 small security fix and 10 more spying software
Only 10? They’re being gentle this time.
What major feature is bring removed next update?
They lubed us up first.
and a partridge in a pear tree
There was actually a pretty big security problem in libwebp recently that likely led to some updates. Trust me, you’d want that patched.
Holy hell, that one’s a punch in the gut. Google, as usual, fumbling around.
More surveillance and telemetry 😊
Windows: Runs update 20+ minutes on shutdown and 20+ minutes on next startup, requiring multiple reboots: nothing has changed.
Linux: Runs update for 5-10 minutes when you want it to update, changes basically the whole OS and adds a metric shit-ton of features and doesn’t even care if you reboot or not.
Longest update for me was ~5 minutes in W10, mostly new definitions for the Defender and security patches. You can consult the property of the updates in the M$ page and also undo the last update, if you want. Memes of Windows are nice, but this one was valid 15 years ago, back then it was true that you could die in an update, but not now.
Idk, it still takes Windows 10 much longer than I’d expect on my system. I wish it only took 5 minutes
Can I forward our users to you when they want to work and need to wait 30-40 minutes before the stupid Windows update has completed?
You forgot that they installed the Linux preacher assholeware in secret.
“performance and stability improvements” 🙄
Ah yes, the usual “we won’t tell you”.
It’s actually pretty important security stuff.
Wanna see what happens when security updates get neglected? Look no further than what happened to apple devices with the Pegasus virus.
Right click the update icon, select whatever option takesyou to the settings screen, on the right-hand side you’ll find a link for changes in each update. It’s not transparent, but it is available.
It’s also to a large degree security updates which are important as hell.
Just look at apple to see what happens when security updates get neglected. Newest apple phone actually had a security exploit that allowed people to upload viruses to your device without you ever having to interact with the virus.
Pegasus was the name of the virus
pegasus didn’t use just one exploit , it’s a huge collection of zero-days
Pegasus is a Spyware used by governments to spy on “criminals” phones.
New telemetry and advertising pop-ups.
The only thing that I can tell happens every update is that I have to tell my start bar, yet again, to show all program icons instead of hiding them. Individually. Oh, and Skype occasionally decides it’s important at startup again.
Almost forgot! My computer also randomly forgets how to sleep until updated.
Shit, I thought I was the only one whose computer has forgotten how to sleep. I ended up reinstalling the whole thing to get it to sleep. I don’t have the mental capacity to troubleshoot my computer to find the root issue after dealing with dumbass clients and my toddler.
It just reinstalled Edge, put a shortcut for it on your desktop and start menu, made it your default browser and migrated all your cookies and login info to Edge (for ad and tracking purposes) before uninstalling said browsers.
No big deal, bro
That has literally never happened to me on Windows
Well if course I’m over exaggerating, but Windows does love to reinstall Edge no matter how many times I remove it
Optimizations? Fix known issues?
new ad rotations
Ooooh they spin now?
they spin now!
Woohoo!
new obscure BSOD for the most lucky fellas
I run insider so I get GSODs… sucka
Nah some notes most people could ignore would be nice. I have no idea what that machine is doing half the time but it’s certainly nothing positive.
More like “what broke?”
big Sept 26 Windows 11 update, does not have Taskbar never compress option. So sad, the only thing I want is still missing.
In completely puzzled, why would they not have that feature? Also why is everything centered in the middle of the task bar now by default? Microsoft sure makes weird UI decisions.
Apple
Just to make it different enough to make consumers think that they’re getting some big new OS. See the right click menu changes for another example.
