Meme transcription: Anakin & Padme

[Panel 1] Anakin tries selects “Update and shut down” from the Windows start menu.

[Panel 2] Padme, labeled as “Windows”, cheerily says: ”You mean ‘Update and restart’, right?”

[Panel 3] Anakin takes an annoyed look.

[Panel 4] Padme, still cheery, says “I’ll just ‘Update and Restart’.”

    I’ve had it happen three times in the last ~1 year each time killing some running process that I kept my pc on for. IIRC it were robocopy backups twice and once during deep sky photography.

    I get why they force updates, but resarting is a bit too much for me. Although I understand why they do it, there’s so many people just never shutting their systems down and Windows apparently just needs to reboot a lot for updates.

    If you haven’t noticed it on your machines, it probably is because you keep them updated and restart them regularly (or disabled the “feature” somewhere).

      Nah, windows tends to ignore any setting telling it not to automatically update, at least it did 2 years ago, otherwise I’d still be using it
