Has this ever happened to you?
Have you ever been downloading a HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE file overnight, just to come back the next morning to see that <crap I can't curse here>ing windows decided to RESTART your computer to install updates FOR A PROGRAM YOU NEVER USE?
I hate microsoft. |

Automatic updates are the worst thing ever. I have times when I need to hurry up and print an assignment before school, only to find Windows decided to reset overnight.

Well some thing similar, I was downloading something that takes maybe 1-2 hours and my (9 year old) sister decides to unplug the computer when there was literally like 5 seconds to go. Man I HATE her.

I hate it when the auto-restart dialog ("Your computer needs to restart to install updates. You have 60 seconds to respond or it will automatically restart." Or something to that effect) comes up when I am in the middle of doing something.

Especially in a fullscreen game. Most games have to be restarted when they're minimized, because the programmers didn't expect something like that to happen.

I use Linux =D
So, no, nothing like that, but some people in my family do complain about it enough. Can't you disable them? |

No, but I once used my computer as an alarm clock. I had it set to play a loud Mp3 an hour and 20 minutes before I needed to be somewhere. It restarted, the alarm didn't restart. I woke up 30 minutes *after* I needed to be there.

I hate it when I'm downloading things and my antivirus program glitches up. Has anyone ever had the "neverending scan?" Happens to me occasionally and I have to restart my computer as a result. :x
It stays at 100% and never stops, even though I grab the computer screen screaming "STOP THE SCAN you outdated, slow, glitchy, drug-abusing laptop!"

I think that has happened to me before but my internet shuts down after being on it forever. So if I'm downloading something big then it restarts...then I have to start the download again. It takes forever!

I have to switch browsers in order to access my fanfiction threads to make new posts. My current browser (firefox) takes an eternity to unfreeze when it loads the page (10-20 minutes).
It's annoying and I'm tempted to do some to my laptop.

I hate automatic updates too.
They're so...useless...and takes up my damn space. |

I use OS X. You have to manually do updates. No auto-restart. :D
