Windows Update System Sucks

Really Windows 10? So I went out of my way to try and disable updates. I even did the registry hack. It just up and fixed it somehow and after a couple months, this hit.

You have to realize, that when my PC updates, it's almost useless to me. It hits the hard drive so hard and so often, that it takes forever to save anything. It also sucks a lot of resources, so it slows the hell out of anything I'm trying to run.

I have to ask, why the hell does it ask me what hours I use the PC, when it will just freaking update anyway while I'm using it in that time frame.

I wish to GOD that I could delay the update instead of it just doing it in the background and leaving me wondering WTF is slowing everything down. My Android phone tells me it just downloaded an update and ASKS me if I want to install it yet, or delay it for later - but freaking windows just up and does it.

The best you can do is to hit the delay for 7 days button, if you happen to notice it downloading and before it starts to install - when it's installing, it's just going to keep doing it.

To sum it up, Windows has had the worse update system for many generations of OS. In the XP days, you could get it to ask you if you wanted to install, not anymore after that. It tells me that they don't actually give a shit about the user at all.

There is a reason why companies that use PC's have the IT person hit the delay 7 days button and once a week check for updates NOT in office hours. I think it's a good idea to do yourself, but I have a shit memory, and I'll forget it, and it will just start up again after the 7 days. So I live with the worst update system EVER.

By the way, a recent update (in the list shown in the screen shot) did NOT work. It gives me an error, and it seems it's doing the same thing in several OS, including Server, W10, W11 - It seems the partition used for updating is NOT big enough on install of windows, yet they released an update that needs more space for no valid reason. You would think, this would be obvious, and the Windows programmers would release an update before this one to expand the partition, but NOPE.

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

YEAH THAT'S NOT A SCAM, I'LL EMAIL YOU RIGHT AWAY LOL

Image
 The anatomy of a scam. This is the exact format I've seen several times on other people's videos on YouTube (in the comments). See if you went to my channel the latest video would be at the top of the list and this was on an older one. There is literally an email link in my profile on YouTube and it was not used (even if it was I'd not fall for this crap). They use the words "your family" to make you react emotionally. You have thoughts like "Is someone hurt or in trouble"? This is almost always a way to try and get "money to your family member in need". Or it's a way to get information out of you. Sometimes it's a long lost relative you never freaking heard of leaving you money. There will always be a fee you need to pay for the legal matters to be cleared up and you to get the money. SCAM. It's interesting I've seen so many people reaching out on YouTube to people about "their family" this few months.
