Re: How do people live with MS Windows ????

I've worked in educational institutions with Windows 10 PCs, and
sometimes the admins there had them rigged so updates didn't get
slapped on right after starting Windows, but only when ending
a session. If I'm not mistaken, there'd sometimes be a roughly
5-minute delay after firing up Windows too, but if the whole
gig lasted several hours, that time was no skin off my back.

  I just stumbled upon a photo of a note that the computer admin had
  left in a classroom in 2013. This pic totally backs up my memory.
  I'm gonna go ahead and quote the translated text from the photo:

|Please Note!
|
|When shutting down the PCs, updates may potentially be installed!
|
|Turn off the main power switch only after the PCs have
|powered down themselves. If it takes a long time, leave the
|main power switch on!                  (Administrator's initials)

  , In the original German:

|Bitte beachten!
|
|Beim Herunterfahren der PCs können eventuell Updates
|installiert werden!
|
|Hauptschalter erst ausschalten, wenn sich PCs selbst
|herunterfahren. Wenn es lange dauert, Hauptschalter
|eingeschaltet lassen! (Namenskürzel des Administrators)
