~You Want To Update Now?~

Julian Outside-Not Liking The Sun-Lol
Valdosta, Georgia
April 18, 2016 4:37pm CST
So I was on MyLot earlier just minding my own business, commenting and interacting. Of course out of nowhere my laptop says-time to update-save your work or you will lose it! WHAT? Of course the laptop has a mind of it's own and updates when it feels like it so I was stuck just waiting for it to update-of course the laptop doesn't seem to mind about my time either so it took over an hour to get done! Ugh, now I am back. The laptop gave me permission to enjoy my time here again...for now anyway. I threatened to throw it if it does that updating thing again...that should teach it not to mess with me!

This is so annoying isn't it? Mine is more polite than yours. Sometimes I'm given the option to delay for an hour or two.

I think updates are designed to happen at the most inconvenient times.

@hatley Lol too bad throwing it would hurt me more than it would be hurt. The sun was in his eyes and he was annoyed by that like I was annoyed by my computer updating. Lol. Thank you. =)

That must have been annoying as hell. I'm thankful that I don't get that many updates and when I do, I can usually just wait and such. Plus, my updates don't usually take an hour. Enjoy your time while you can.

Our computers always seem to do things at the wrong time, when we are doing something else and have to wait. It is annoying too, when it takes its sweet time doing what it needs to do. I am glad you got it done though so you could come back, and not have to worry about it interrupting you again.

@LovingMyBabies It is that way with the virus scan too. It seems to take forever, and all I can do is sit and twiddle my fingers and tell it ot hurry up.

Up datings are necessary. Mine, once took three hours. This occurred one week after an installation of the system.

I don't think it cares or listens to your concerns. I've been in the middle of writing and had to do a quick save before it lost everything I was doing. It simply has no respect for anyone else.

@LovingMyBabies And then it has the gall to slow down to a crawl, not respond at all, and then make you wait for things to load, and right when you're ready to give up and call it quits, it starts working again.

You can set your updates to be done like in the middle of the night. Go to your indows update center and swtich your settings, that way you won't be interrrupted! I agree it is annoying.
