The one thing I find frustrating about Windows computers

I managed to solve the Windows 10 problem, sometimes there are some components that cannot run due to inappropriate software and hardware.

And yet another thing I do not miss about Windows.

Yes, that is when we schedule our updates for too.

I hear you. It's seems never-ending sometimes.

deactivate the updating button

That is one thing about Windows computer. However, as you rightly identified you can set for update during shutdown or for night. The initial 1 month , there would lot of updates but then prehaps once in weekly or monthly basis. In a way it is a blessing because most times, it is security patches to protect our operating system. Since Windows Operating system is most used across the world, they need to be on top when it comes to security and things especially in the era of cybersecurity challenges. However, it is sometimes time consuming and boring. Take care!

Since I only use my phone, it is easy for to forget how extensive those blasted updates were when I used a Windows computer.

You can always disable updates. I have done that

I avoid updating stuff if I can.

My updates usually don't take more than 15-20 minutes. They start when I go to shut down. Have a good weekend.
