I don't understand why I can't harass people online. Seriously, somebody please explain why I shouldn't be allowed to stalk others on social media!

Yeah forced updates are a good thing. They allow users to opt out, but intentionally make it more difficult to do that then to just let the updates go forward. You should have a good reason to not update, not just a feeling of not wanting to be bothered.

This weekend the loving blue box that pops up askingtelling you to get new updates popped up and took over my entire monitor during a gaming session. I mean on the grand scheme of things it's no big deal because I'm not a ~streamer~ or anything but what the gently caress dude there's no way to justify that poo poo taking over my entire screen. The only way to get out of it is to hit "ok" which brings up another stupid windows 10 metro whatever style box telling me about updates, which does let you just close it by hitting "x" in the corner.

All I'm saying is this is loving stupid and I loving hate that god drat pop up.

I'm not against updating but either make it 100% transparent to me and never bother me with that poo poo or let me disable it once and for all and do it manually. I have no idea what setting it's in cause I get the idea that it should be automatic but I've probably messed up some settings just by googling for random poo poo like "how do I uninstall candy crush" and "why the gently caress does candy crush keep reinstalling" and then just pasting whatever the hell the websites tell me to paste into powershell.
