Meme transcription: Anakin & Padme
[Panel 1] Anakin tries selects “Update and shut down” from the Windows start menu.
[Panel 2] Padme, labeled as “Windows”, cheerily says: ”You mean ‘Update and restart’, right?”
[Panel 3] Anakin takes an annoyed look.
[Panel 4] Padme, still cheery, says “I’ll just ‘Update and Restart’.”
I literally just had this happen a couple days ago. I dual boot with Linux Mint and I generally don't go into windows except for specific use cases. So sometimes it can be a while between boots for windows on my system.
I had to use a windows only program, but it was a quick 5 minute thing. Finished my task, shut it down and I get the update prompt. Fine windows, update and shutdown. Of course it reboots, but it defaults into Mint and I'm confused for a minute why my PC is still on when I come back.
I had Windows in sleep mode one time and it woke the computer up at 3 AM (found out by looking at Event Viewer) to do updates.
The most infuriating thing is that they label that as a feature. Sure, I want to get woken up in the middle of the night because some MS douche decides my laptop needed updates.
Laptops don't exist in Redmond. Nothing else would explain how "I need to shove you into a bag right this minute and go to my next class" was ever met with "cool I'm just gonna update real quick shouldn't take an hour."
