I've never had issues with Windows Update until last year when it nearly killed my PC. I now have a Windows and Linux machine - One with all my important stuff (linux) and the other for gaming (windows). I'm absolutely terrified every time I see a new windows update, and after nearly losing years of pics and documents to a Windows Update, I decided to move away mostly. It doesn't feel like Microsoft is actively working on fixing their business when it comes to updates. The last windows update even bricked their latest Surface...the attitude is even worse than apple it seems. Apple won't acknowledge there is a problem and simply blames users for not using their technology properly...MSFT is just not giving a flying fk. Updates are ruining what is a really solid OS. What are your thoughts? Will we eventually be able to trust an update from Microsoft? Do they even give a sht?
Windows 10 is spyware. Like ChromeOS. They were built like that on purpose, and will never change unless both firms are regulated. Downgrade to XP or 7.
+1. Never use Windows and Chrome. Both are thieves.
MS got rid of QE because they slowed down the process
Good ole Myerson legacy.
MSFT version of Agile?
Except it's not agile because agile requires testing. :/
what do you mean when you say ‘nearly’ lost pictures and documents to windows update? Did you really lose it?
Loose files means personal files kept in c:\windows\system32
I just happened to have a recent backup...I hadn't performed a backup in several months before that point.
OP learn your lesson and switch to Mac. Windows ship sunk a long time ago.Windows is a dead and abandoned product. All MS does now just do Azure,Office, Bing and they buy internet real-estate (LinkedIn, Skype.....). They also do lot of PR for Satya and lot of PC stuff. I use iCloud and I have not even thought about the word "backup" from any of my devices. I have each and every photo/video I ever took across all my devices. For my Mac. I use time-machine and I can restore my machine to the last hour with a single click. No Ads, No spyware. The last piece of crap on my machine was chrome and I eliminated it by switching to Safari.
To add. Remove Chrome from Home and Office. Get a VPN. Stop using Microsoft Products other than LinkedIn(depending) Implement a Pi-Hole on your home network.
It’s not a bug, but a feature!
Lol no the people that are supposed to work on it are busy leetcoding
Yes they are actively working towards improving the quality control of Windows Updates. All the age old QA techniques are removed as you know from the big layoff few years ago. Those QAs are now replaced by SWEs that are building robust validation systems at every stage of Windows Updates delivery process.
This sounds like a bad joke
