I don’t understand this. I get the importance of updates, but unfortunately, the only time I can update my computer is right before I turn it off. If you have a job where you’re on a computer all day (and use Windows), you’ll know what I’m talking about. The reason I can’t update until I’m nearly done with my day is because that little annoying pop-up will remind me about every 15 minutes that I need to restart my computer. Usually, I don’t find out about the updates until about an hour after the computer is on, and by that time, I already have my task bar full of the programs, editors, browsers, and documents that I want open. And, they’re in the order I want them in. I really don’t want to shut down at this time, but it looks like I don’t have a choice. If I’m lucky, I’ll be in the middle of typing and that popup will sneak right in there, and before I know it, I hit space bar. Nothing is saved… wonderful. It’s the fastest popup ever made—great design!
Anyway, that’s just one of the many odd things I don’t understand about Windows. Why was there a majority vote that it would be good idea to have a pop-up constantly remind you that you need to restart? Who had the final say? Microsoft is such a big corporation, you would think someone would come up with reason enough to not do that. Plus, I might be more apt to reboot if Windows didn’t take a century to reload.
