      I’m going to be honest with you, as often as this has been memed and for as long as I have been using Windows on my work computer, I have never once been forced to restart on the spot by an automatic update.

      I’m sure those who have will be quick to reply but at this point I’m 90% confident it’s a loud minority.

        I’ve seen an entire factory shut down for hours because two critical Win10 computers tried and failed to update. It’s never an issue until it becomes one.

        Plus a failed update is the whole reason I nuked my C: drive and switched to Manjaro (now running Arch, put down the pitchforks).

          Well, running Windows 10, a consumer user-oriented operating system, to control mission-critical machines is mistake number 1.

          This wouldn’t have happened if they had used Windows Server or something actually designed for that task (like Linux!).
