At least you can update. My computer has failed to update since January, I think. And it's less than a year old. (I don't have enough memory. I can't delete enough to get enough memory. I try to use my external hard drive, but it just won't do it. I found a procedure to fix the problem, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. And yet, every day, my computer reminds me that it needs to update, and I must delete programs so that there's enough memory...)
O, trust me, Oneil, this can be such a pain, if you don't plan it out well. There was this colleague of mine, who never updated the patches, and once when he decided to do that, it took nearly a day for the whole thing to be complete, keeping him away from the computer all that while.
Yeah, some updates just suck like that.
ReplyDeleteI would like to be able to choose to NOT do the update at all, but it forced me to.
ReplyDeleteLOL. I should keep track of how many times I click the do it later option. Then the bastards do it overnight and catch me off guard.
ReplyDeleteAnnoying isn't it? I always click 'try tonight', but half the time it doesn't do it overnight and we have to start all over again...

ReplyDeleteIt's how they enforce planned obsolescence.
It makes you want to strangle the computer, if only that worked.
ReplyDeleteMy editor had a scare when her computer updated to Windows 10 and she thought she had lost a bunch of her writing stuff. Fortunately, she didn't.
