nah. at worst it's the lesser of two evils. the alternative is keeping a crushing majority of the user base vulnerable forever because virtually no one likes to voluntarily update their os.
No, they're terrible. Windows can and does know when a system is least in use and is supposed to handle this during those periods. Updates are important but this is an excessive and unnecessary way to fix the issue of people not performing their own updates.
... and it does handle this during those periods. unless you tell it not to. or set the non working hours wrong.
I've frequently seen Windows ignore that setting and force the restart while the system is actively being used
The mega corp neither needs or deserves your defense. They've fucked up the update system with Windows 10 and it's not gotten any better since then.
