I hate Microsoft updates. Sometimes, as happened tonight, the updates kidnap my computer and do not allow it to run at my command, and prevent me from doing what I want to do with my computer. Tonight, it took more than 30 minutes for the updates to finish running and my computer was available to me again.
I also hate it when Microsoft sends out updates that reconfigure my computer: makes my home page look different, tries to change my sign on, adds layers of protection I don't ask for, and changes the way I access things like the Internet. I did not want to change from Microsoft Explorer to Microsoft Edge, but Microsoft did that for me without asking me or giving me any opportunity to opt out. I suspect Microsoft no longer supports Explorer, and that is just pure wrong. If they put out a product, they need to support in perpetuity. Sorry. That is the expectation. Why do these computer companies get away with not supporting programs they advance, and force us to use new one? We pay good money to use the programs the offer us, and that good money should ensure us we can use those programs as long as we want to. I think the computer companies are thieves.
