I lost a few hours with that update this morning.

Early this morning, at home, I selected "update and shut down" figuring I could get ready for work while it updated. Came back to it later, it was off, so I packed it up and went to work. When I got to work and turned it on I got the "updating" message. It continued updating for the next hour and a half. So I just had to sit here checking email on phone and explain to people that I couldn't help them until I got my computer back.

This was a bad one.

Why would you update and shut down? You should always update and restart. -- hoosnowahokie 05/15/2018 1:23PM

Why would I? Because that was offered as a selection. -- GFallsFan 05/15/2018 1:31PM

Windows 10 is a turning point (inside) -- FfxStationHokie 05/15/2018 1:03PM

Upside is they only update twice a year as opposed to past randomness ** -- 133743Hokie 05/16/2018 10:17AM

It is for me. I have 7 Professional at home. I will go to a Linux OS before -- 81_Hokie 05/15/2018 6:06PM

You sure? -- Beerman 05/15/2018 1:13PM

Windows 10 Pro users can defer updates, but Home users can't (inside) -- FfxStationHokie 05/15/2018 1:38PM

Hmm yes ... -- Beerman 05/15/2018 1:45PM

I actually turned that off. But it requires you to dive into the innards -- ElbertoHokie 05/15/2018 6:02PM

I haven't figured out how to do that. -- GFallsFan 05/15/2018 1:17PM

Or near bedtime ** -- TomTurkey 05/15/2018 1:15PM

This update required me to log back in once. -- GFallsFan 05/15/2018 1:18PM
