Really Panda AV?

@Dashrender No Windows 10 is using Active Hours (Although it was not honored by the last Tuesday patch, no matter what Windows 10 version 1607 or 1703).
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/update/waas-restart
You can delay a restart up to 14 days
-
I didn't say how long before reboot because I knew they changed it, just didn't recall what it was now.
But you do have to put effort into delaying it, which someone running through the airport will likely miss.
-
@Dashrender Yeah, it is a lot of effort... I mean you got to find this stuff and plan it and test it because if not you get lots of complaints...

Huh?
Are not talking about home users?
-
@Dashrender So say you are supporting home users (Which in my case is only a handful), either you have to use the registry and then use active hours manually on the computers or show the users how to install updates manually. Worst if Windows is a Home Edition.

@Dashrender Iphone does not force to install iOS updates at all, they just notify you all the time of the update being ready.
Yeah. And really annoyingly. Lol. Better, but not good

And it is a constant thing.... checking and modifying behavior for life's activities that don't easily allow for that.

Yeah. And that's the rub.... nearly always the answer with Windows is that you need all this extra effort and all kinds of specialty knowledge to get it to work well. It's not for normal users.

I've had a Windows 10 instance with insane resources and trying to reboot for 35 minutes now, can't even shut down. OMG Windows blows. How can a vanilla install be SO bad?
-
Still rebooting, no signs of it being able to do it.
-
@scottalanmiller With an SSD and Virtual Machines running?
-
Just rebooted.

It's a VM running on top of 11,000 IOPS on a huge Intel XEON proc and gobs of RAM and the cluster is basically idle.
-
@scottalanmiller Very weird...
-
Took over 50 minutes just ot reboot, no updates applied, no updates mentioned in the reboot warning.

The start menu won't show on my Windows 10 work laptop. I hardly use it but I have to use the search bar to get programs.

Now that's weird. Time to reinstall! (As a VM running on Linux, of course.)

Corporate policies. It's not one of my machines. It's a corporate laptop not an engineering one.
