    First of I run linux on my personal machine.
    Second, I shut down my work machine at the end of the day and if there is an update - let it update. The result? Not a single problem with windows updates in years! Strange, I know.

    Sidenote: I always thought people were partially making fun of windows updates because you have to reboot all the time. I have to log out to switch from integrated to dedicated graphics in Linux and pretty much 90% of all updates require a reboot. And to conserve battery I have to shut down the laptop anyway, since hibernation is but a dream. But whatever, it’s not a competition.

      When you have a nice setup in programming (compiler, database, diverse docs, shells etc), you don’t want to shut all that down. If you can, good for you!
