Say no to automatic updates?
A friend of mine called because his computer was freezing every few minutes. He was in the middle of an online exam, due the next day. He was tearing his hair out, ready to go purchase a new computer. Eventually I figured out that update 2823324 was the cause of his problem.
Seems to me this is completely unacceptable OS behavior. If MS can effectively destroy a computer through its own updates, how can we recommend that users leave the automatic update setting in place? Shouldn't the OS have the ability to recognize that it's creating the problem, and fix it internally?
