Windows OS is known to install updates at the worst possible moment, a fact universally laughed-about by every Windows user out there.
Last March, Microsoft tried to work around the problem and allowed users to snooze updates indefinitely but the computer still found ways to trick them into updating. Most of those instances happened, of course, at the worst possible moments.
Needless to say, complains abounded.
But, after so long, Microsoft seems to have finally heard everyone’s pleas and made a promise that our PCs will no longer update when we are actually using it.
The improvement was mentioned on a blog post today:
“We heard you, and to alleviate this pain, if you have an update pending we’ve updated our reboot logic to use a new system that is more adaptive and proactive. We trained a predictive model that can accurately predict when the right time to restart the device is. Meaning, that we will not only check if you are currently using your device before we restart, but we will also try to predict if you had just left the device to grab a cup of coffee and return shortly after.”
According to them, the predictive model is currently being used on internal devices so there aren’t any specifics on how accurate it is.
