Microsoft Will Fix Windows 10's Most Annoying Feature, Sort Of

I like Windows 10. For me, it has made a Windows operating system that I really like to use. But there are a couple of things about how it works that bothers me at once, and power users. In essence, Windows updates are a pain and force users to restart sometimes they are inconvenient or you can automatically restart a computer without warning.

Users like Sergey Tkachenko of WinAero in the Windows Insider preview program have noticed that it has been added to the Windows Update system that allows them to see all the updates all the time up to 35 days to the new option. The parameter resides in the "advanced" on the Windows Update configuration page and is a typical on / off configuration, there is no actual granularity control.

Some versions of Windows 10 (Pro, Enterprise and Education) already have a strong control "defer updates." This is similar, and to hold new features to back up enough time for serious problems to come to light. This is great for business, but not for use for home users should upgrade from $ 99 to Windows 10 Pro to take advantage of this option - probably not worth it, unless you also want RDP and opportunity To get to the areas too.

I find the way Windows 10 takes care of the hugely frustrating updates, and although this change is welcome, I do not think it goes far enough. I am very satisfied that Windows has security updates for Defender only, but if there is an update automatically triggers a reboot, I think it should be queried.

Now there is a way to prevent Windows 10 from being restarted after an upgrade. You need to play with some settings, but open the Task Scheduler and "Library" open, then find and find MicrosoftWindowsUpdateOrchestrator "reboot". From there, you can right-click and disable this function. This is obviously a risk, and many of us prefer Microsoft makes it easy to change the way our computer in the update window.

As Microsoft strives to make its many more operating systems easy to use, it also tends to eliminate some controls. I'm in favor of ensuring that non-technical users get updates correctly, but at least give people a little control of how their PC's work, after all, is my non-Microsoft computer.

Windows 10 also gets a new gameplay that will optimize performance and filter blue light, as these are in vogue now. Forbes contributor Antony Leather has details about these features.
