Hi All:
Rather pissed off at the moment; my Surface Pro just decided to update right in the middle of a task...again.
The fucking thing just did half an hour's worth of updates this morning for crap's sake!
It started telling me it wanted to do more this afternoon, so I went into the settings and used the option that lets you reschedule them for a different day.
Haw haw haw, the settings just get ignored so here i am unable to work while it loads a bunch more shit I don't want and don't need like the ability to "sync" all my devices better than before, and guess what I can now make it do shit by yelling at it...oh fucking joy.
It's a working computer...I don't WANT all that fucking crap!.
What is it about modern software that is so indifferent to the needs of the customer and just imposes its shit in this arbitrary way.
Seems to me it's all going that way, Autodesk to Adobe to Quickbooks to Microshit; even Solidworks is nibbing around the edges.
So please please, anyone who knows the Golden Secret of how to retake control of Windows 10...tell me how to force it not to update until I'm damned well good and ready.
Not so cheery right now
