Delete the fuck out of windows update

Okay bitches are you sick of windows update fucking up your shit, bricking you computer, deleting your folders, restarting your computer in the middle of a game, and just being a Goddamn nuisance!? Of course you are, you aren’t capitalism’s doormat, fuck Bill Gates! So here’s what you gotta do first open up services if you dont know how click that little search bar on the task bar and type in services or hell just type ser your compy’s a good smart boy he’ll know what you’re talking about. Once services pops up click it to open the fucking thing scroll down until you see windows update; that’s the fucker we’re gonna kill right click on it and then click properties next to service name you should see what windows update told your computer its name is the fucking liar. mine said WUAUSERV but anyway copy that bitch we’re almost done. Now that you have copied it you can close services and click the search bar again. Now type CMD to bring up the command prompt and now this is important right click on it and select RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR if you don’t you will fail and windows update and bill gates stupid ass face will laugh at you. Once you have command prompt open type sc delete and then right click to past the name. For instance I typed sc delete wuauserv. And that’s it you have slain your demon you’re welcome. Hey guys spread this around @thebibliosphere @systlin @copperbadge @couldnt-think-of-a-funny-name @therealjacksepticeye @markiplier

I don’t have Windows 10 so I can’t test this, but I know several people who have wanted to deactivate updates and I’m sure at some point I’ll upgrade from 7, so here you go guys 😀 

This is bad advice. Do not do what the OP recommends.

I will, speaking as someone who has been building and fixing computers longer than a good many of you have been alive (both for fun and as my fucking job), offer a calming voice in counterpoint, because, yeah, I use Windows 10, and even am on the fast-track for preview builds.

I, personally, have not lost anything, on any of the machines on which I’ve done the update.

“Yeah, that’s great for you, buddy, but…”

Microsoft has heard the concerns and paused the deployment until they fixed the bug. Which they already have. (source: https://www.zdnet.com/article/windows-10-october-2018-update-microsoft-releases-fix-for-data-deletion-bug/ )

Don’t fuck around and delete your goddamned windows services unless you know what you’re doing, unless, at some future date, you want to pay someone like me to un-fuck it, or buy a new computer that you didn’t shiv in a fit of pique.

Look, OP, I realize your heart (and spleen) are in the right place, but… just tell people to disable the fucking service  when they go to that propterties screen in the Services window, not delete the goddamned thing.

Better advice prevailing!
