I just sit here happily using windows 7 with updates disabled

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

Well that would be completely useless spam, but if people want to instead talk about inconvenient update experiences, I can see that having some value.

Solve your own audio issues  |  First Steps with RPi 3  |  Humidity & Condensation  |  Sleep & Hibernation  |  Overclocking RAM  |  Making Backups  |  Displays  |  4K / 8K / 16K / etc.  |  Do I need 80+ Platinum?

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.

Yeah, I'm asked about restart every time. I can just restart or schedule it for later. It never happens randomly without a warning when I'm surfing the net or playing a game. I don't know why all those complains too.

Main Rig - AMD Ryzen 1800X @ 3.9 - NZXT Kraken X62 - MSI X370 SLI PLUS - G.Skill TRIDENT Z RGB 16GB 2667MHz - 2 x Gigabyte GeForce GTX1080 WindForce OC - NZXT S340 (Purple-White) - OCZ 120GB, Seagate 1TB - Corsair RM750i 80+ Gold - SAMSUNG S24D590 24", HP L1950g - Logitech G810 Orion Spectrum - Logitech G502 Proteus Spectrum - Creative Cambridge Sound Works + two random Philips speakers, Logitech G430 headset - Win 10 Pro x64

Retro Gaming PC - ASUS T3

Server - HP ProLiant DL380 G6(Currently assembling it) - 2 x Intel Xeon E5520 2.26GHz 8MB Quad Core Processor

NAS - Zyxel NSA320S 2 x Seagate Constellation ES 2TB(RAID1) - QNAP TS-212 1 x 500GB

I don't usually take pictures of Windows update, but I was in the middle of a big project while I was at the University of Phoenix.  Anyways, I was about a few hours in, forgot to save like a dumbass... Windows suddenly said, "OH, btw bitch, we gotta update.  Here's your two options, restart now, or go fuck yourself."

Yeah, needless to say, I was pissed. 

Currently focusing on my video game collection.

It doesn't matter what you play games on, just play good games you enjoy.

1 - Windows 10 warns you clearly that it needs to restart.

2- You can setup your active hours so that it doesn't start the update process

 

Setting up your computer is important, and ignoring restart request like an idiot after several warnings is asking for the OS to restart on you.

They even recently seem to have brought back the thing that lets you schedule when the reboot will occur, giving you the ability to delay it (for several days if necessary) to a time when you will be available.

Haven't had any issues with update restarts since moved from Vista to 7. Failed updates are another matter. I've had several where it required startup repair to let me login.

 

Work computers are different matter. They tend to update always on fridays just when you are leaving.
