He has an excuse, it was a system set up for testing things, specifically NOT tweaked to hide updates.
This is what the passive user who still hasn't seen fit to take control of Windows Updates will be getting. I'm not sure who that user is, exactly, but I can guess...

Letme get this straight, Woody had no idea what KB's to avoid in his win7pro vm install inside of 10 ? Where has he been for the past year ? Seriously Noel, Everyone by now should know KB 295 2664 leads to KB 299 0214 leads to KB 303 5583 GWX.exe installer Sounds like this guy really needs your help.
But I think he's quite aware of GWX and company, and this system he had update itself was a VM that he was running to see how the "typical user" would see Microsoft's updates.
Apparently he's perceived there to be a new level of aggressiveness.

I have noticed a massive onslaught of End Users that are fucking clueless, and panicky, just because L1/L2 support is as useless as tits on a turkey. They are being treated like redheaded stepchildren by MVPs and Insiders alike. All of this because they are running the bugged out 1511 (10586). They are seeing the same failures with Start menu, and Cortana failure, that we dealt with when we tested it in November. The Home version is completely boned, and that is what they are trapping people into. I've been trying to get them to get Insider builds, which would bring them to 14279 Home version, and watch that go away. If you watch the announcements from the Insider hub, you can watch known issues carry over from build to build. I went to the developers net and saw that their focus is primarily on improving Edge. The latest improvement has been in the initial startup where mixed in with the Hello, and We're setting few things up for you, is Abandon all hope Ye who enter here.

I believe we have seen the golden age of general purpose computing come and go, and about the best we can do today is adopt a “wait and see” stance.
And based on recent world events, the beginning of the end of civilization as we know it.
At least I was here to also experience the golden age of rock and roll, movie making, muscle cars, sports, the sexual revolution, and a brief if not permanent improvement in tolerance, before our planet is no longer sustainable.
The glass is half empty, chipped, and I cut my lip on it.

You really are a breath of fresh air, Mike. Might as well put the cyanide in your 7up and get it over with. I'll take the lemons and twist em'into my gin ,thankyou very much.
<Rick> Good video. It's almost hard to believe that at one time Windows 98 was the resource hog, but even then, it still ran circles around what Windows 10 can do on today's modern hardware and look a heck of alot better doing it.

<Rick> As stated elsewhere, So much for the launch of Windows 11, "The Great Crash." Myself, I had a hard time getting into the site listed above, when I did get in, the video was partly done and then it crashed. There has been many other reports of crashing.

<Rick> I see Microsoft has been very quick to pull down reports of site crashing regarding the Launch of Windows 11 on the Microsoft Insiders forum.

<Rick> The rebroadcast is working okay.

<Rick> With reports of people being able to install the dev-edition of Windows 11 on machines not meeting spec, I thought I would give it a what-the-heck try. Lucky me, I'm caught in the downloading, doesn't meet spec, clearing, re-downloading loop on my machine!

<Rick> I've recently purchased a license for ArcaOS from www.arcanoae.com/ to play with. First impressions, it's still OS/2, but it now has a Linux twist to it.

<dozrguy> laptop shit out and am stuck buying a new one. os win11 as fucked as win10 was?
Oct 2, 2021 12:56:10 GMT -6
<Rick> Let's see ..., my impression of Windows 11 is that it is a spruced up version of Windows 10 requiring a 64-bit processor plus a piece of security hardware that is less than 4 years old in order for it to run.

<Rick> On the plus side, Microsoft is supposed to be supporting Windows 10 for some time to come for those of us still using systems with I7 or older processors.

<dozrguy> STILL so much bullshit and so little time for the kiddie ideas from the hill. My new laptop (MSI GE 11-UH461) would be an awesome "10" machine but because of Winblows I can only give it a "2"......wasted $3500

<Rick> Hello. Just checking in.

<isidroco> Each new w10 update adds >100000 useless files to \Windows\Servicing\LCU\Package_for_RollupFix... folders. Even in a SSD takes time to delete that stuff. In each version they manage to worsen stuff.

Oct 9, 2022 17:32:44 GMT -6
<Rick> No, there does not seem to be very much traffic these days. I still check in from time to time.
