That would likely be the default settings trying to avoid times when you normally use the machine to install the update.

this was before the 7day(?) delay option appeared, there was no config. and in many cases the update wasn't shown on start menu and shutdown/restart looked innocent until i clicked them and it started updating lol. i later just killed wupdate permanently via registry from safe mode.

That's a different thing.

Deferring updates is one thing, updates being distributed to random numbers of devices each day is a different thing. MS has "update rings" with random devices, every ring gets the updates on a different date. You can "force" Windows to grab updates if you click "Check for updates" after Patch Tuesday if you didn't get them automatically (I think).

1. Follow the site-wide rules

  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility.
