The most used operating system in the world is that of Microsoft, due to its simplicity of use. Behind this “standardization” for its usability, certain practices are hidden, which we are going to say, perhaps are unethical. The most obvious are the performance issues when there is a pending update already downloaded from Windows 10.
Updates, whether drivers or operating system are important. Certainly, making an update as soon as it is available is not a good idea. We have seen on countless occasions how certain performance problems appear after an update. We have seen how a Windows 10 update caused Bluetooth to malfunction or stop working.
This is how Microsoft forces you to update Windows 10
Periodically, updates are released for the microsoft operating system that add different elements. Normally, what are transmitted are performance improvements or benefits, but there is more behind it. The vast majority of updates (or all) include vulnerability fixes. Updating is important, but it’s not always critical.
We must know, first of all, that these vulnerability fixes do not always affect all users. Typically, these security fixes are more relevant to businesses than users. But, we must have the updates up to date, not install them in the same day.
It has happened to me many times that, when a upgrade is downloaded and ready to install, the system it works bad. It’s not at first, but when it takes 3-4 days to install and you don’t, weird things happen. Above all, it is noticeable in the bluetooth and in the Internet, at first. Then other system performance problems appear, which are also obvious.
This is something that, surely you have observed, recently with the Windows 22H2 update. Microsoft, twice a year releases a huge update package that adds improvements. But, it also usually generates problems once it is updated. Something that is usually recommended is to wait a while before making an update, while Microsoft wants you to update as soon as possible.
As a tool to pressure you to update, Microsoft has only one option: to cause performance problems. at the end, before performance problems you will end up updatingwhether you want it or not A rather unfortunate practice, since in the end, you should have the right to decide when to upgrade equipment and be sure that you will not have more damage than good.
Increasingly poor quality updates
Some time ago we learned about the changes made by the company with the updates. Now it has gone to a system called Insiders, which allows users to verify updates. The problem is that Microsoft hardly pays attention to the reports. There are innumerable reported problems that have been constantly ignored by the company.
One of the big problems with all this is that Microsoft lacks competition. The reality is that Linux, in its different distributions, does not pose a threat. Although there are distributions that are easy to use, it is far from being mainstream. It would take something similar to Android for PC, which, although it exists under the name of Chrome OS, is not a rival to Microsoft’s operating system.
