People complain that Microsoft's forced update policy isn't providing them enough control over their own systems, so they narrow down the allowed time for automatic reboot from 12 hours each day to 6 hours. Yeah, that's really what they are asking for. Not. Yeah, this whole Active Hours thing is ridiculous. I've posted a couple of times about it on the Insiders Feedback app. What capability, exactly, does it provide that the user didn't enjoy before? The only thing it accomplishes is to force you to plan out when you will reboot as otherwise Windows will do it for you. How about I make my own decision in my own good time??? My PCs have been known to wait for weeks with the Windows Update reboot reminder quietly sitting in a corner until I finish clearing my numerous open windows and am good and ready to reboot. At my convenience. --JorgeA Edited October 9, 20169 yr by JorgeA typo
October 10, 20169 yr Not anymore. MS knows better. They say you must reboot every 6h. Period. Resistance is futile!
October 10, 20169 yr The separation of all those services into individual svchost instances - beyond the obvious waste of resources - is claimed to prevent co-hosted services from being crashed along with services that crash. Do you think they're doing it for OUR benefit? Or do you think that will give them license to release poorer quality services? When's the last time you had a service crash in Win 8 or older? -Noel

October 13, 20169 yr haha, Notice my avatar is a Dreadnought class starship. USS Vengeance. Even the federation needs a big heavy stick sometimes.
October 14, 20169 yr Is that scene from First Contact? If so, I just saw that last night on Laserdisc! c
October 14, 20169 yr Not sure, but probably so if you recognize it. Google turned it up online. -Noel
October 15, 20169 yr Neat! I like all those movies from I through IIX (one through eight). Especially the music. c
