    The process is simple:

    1. Patch Tuesday happens, updates are rolled out.
    2. Within 0-4 days (or therabouts) of a Patch Tuesday, updates hit your device.
    3. Everything is happening 100% in the background at this point. Updates are getting prepped for installation.
    4. If you haven’t rebooted to apply the updates for about 4-7 days, you’ll start getting notifications that you should
    5. If you have Active Hours set up, the OS will not bother you while these are active.
    6. After something like 10-14 days you might be forced to apply the updates.

    To each their own, but I wouldn’t call this “disrespecting the user”. And “forcing updates at an inconvenient time” is just silly, with how much leeway you’re getting.

    Also: maybe you’re used to something much faster, but, personally, I don’t find clicking “update and shutdown” when I go to sleep and then coming back to an updated PC in the morning that problematic. The longest I had to sit through the updates was 20 minutes because I wanted to apply a Feature Update.

    I guess my point is: there’s A LOT to bash Microsoft and Windows for. No need to invent things that aren’t there.
