My wife was working from home last month for the first time in forever and that's when Windows 10 Home decided to upgrade to the Anniversary update. Try and I might, I could not seem to find a way to stop this. It took well over an hour, in the middle of the day, to install Windows and kept her from working.
That's one of the most user hostile things I've ever seen in a software product.
Ironically, after the Anniversary update we could at least set the working hours but it's still limited to a 12 hour block. Is it really too much to ask to only allow updates/reboots from 1:00am to 6:00am?!?
I'd like to think if any of this happened to the CEO of Microsoft, this crap would get fixed right away.
Here's some irony for you: I'm a Microsoft Employee and the update was force-installed midday during a WFH day, just before a critical demo, necessitating that I work over the weekend because my wife had taken the car + busses I needed didn't run midday. (there had been popup warnings for ~week but they... lied? Kept saying it would happen, it didn't, kept moving back, then all of a sudden happened with no warnings at the most inopportune time)
Another peer of mine lost his networking stack functionality when his update pushed through.
The update/telemetry/user friendliness situation has not been fantastic, even for some of us internal engs.
On Windows, an update is a long download, then lots of reboots where the computer is busy doing who knows what.
What's even worse is that "update and shut down" can lead to a 10-20 minute wait the next time I turn on my computer.
