stylemessiah Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 At least its on Windows 7, and its rare to see an uopdate wreak havos across more than the odd random PC. On Windows 8, on the other hand, ive seen the botched august update kill 6 PC's in a row to the point where a reinstall was needed..... Ah Windows 8, the pig that keeps on troughing, the biggest POS to roll out of Redmond ever. Even Windows ME was better..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell is trying to do WU on a 7 year old Windows 7 PC that has been clean installed, and it just not working.Windows 8 did as well, not yet for 8.1. Less updates = less pain and bugs.

CPowell46 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Drama, I decided long ago that it isn't worthwhile; in fact, it's dangerous. I install service packs only, and I'm uneasy about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell is trying to do WU on a 7 year old Windows 7 PC that has been clean installed, and it just not working. Windows 8 did as well, not yet for 8.1. Less updates = less pain and bugs. Ive had almost zero issues ever (comparatively) with windows update on 7, sure ive had to stop WU and BITS and delete c:\windows\softwaredistribution about 5 times since windows XP days, until windows 8 turned up, but Windows 8 is just a revolving door of misery and a time vampire unlike any other OS...ive had to do the above WU fix on just installed Windows 8 installs to get WU wiorking...seriously. On one PC ive had to do it 4 times. Windows 8, just keeps on sucking. And have you not heard of autopacther? no one in their right mind connects a clean install up to WU when you can save a ton of bandwidth (especially if youre fixing multiple PC's a week) downloading the updates once via autopatcher and apllying them via autopatcher and avoid partial download, corrupt WU catalogue and other errors....

Wrong, it's the same as fat people think it's o.k. to call others and abuse them with names like fat-so. Or when a brown skinned person calls people nig*er not acceptable. When you put down even your own culture it's racism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By stating that in Mumbai all the hotels (motels) contain bugs is racist. I can go to every country in the world and find shit holes with a billion times more bugs than a hotel in Mumbai. If you are Indian, then quit dissing your country and it's accommodation as it's a green flag to all the bigots and racists to cause problems. Then when people enquire why the bigots and racists say what they say about Indian people, like call them paki's when they're not from Pakistan, but the word 'paki' in Britian is a racist word. NF and BNP used it to be racist to all Asians. They will say, 'it's o.k. some Indian on the internet said it also'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
