So apparently, Microsoft's newest update to W11 a while ago broke a bunch of Steam games. It was so shit that they stopped pushing the update out 
@Ronnie21093 stuff like this has happened before and it will surely happen again. I don't know how people get these updates so fast, I'm usually like a year behind
There is no way to disable automatic updates via a standard mechanism - you need to use a patching script that microsoft will undo every few months via their ultra-forced update backdoor.
You actually have to pay extra for the "LTSC" to get slightly less broken updates.
Yet more reasons you'd have to be an idiot use windows.
@Suiseiseki @Ronnie21093 who tf actually pays for windows lmao
If you ever buy a computer from a store that sells computers that come with windows, microsoft has a tax on all of them, whether they come with windows or not.
Any computer part you buy has a microsoft tax on it too.
Even if you were to get a copy of proprietary malware gratis, that doesn't make it not proprietary malware.
Regardless, the problem with windows is not that it has a price (although it has a huge price), the problem is that it is malware and spyware that does not respect the users freedom.
@Cyrillic @Ronnie21093 I didn't change anything about updates on my latest install and I've never had an automatic one. I'll get a little toast popup saying it's time to update like once every couple days but that's it.
You can also use winutils and change updates that way extremely easily. For instance, just getting security updates or disabling updates entirely (not the greatest idea but sure).
anyway microsoft is gay, install GNU/Linux
@Cyrillic @Ronnie21093 microsoft may be gay but linux is trans
the only option now is to go with mac, which is just liberal and maybe slightly fruity
