(Yes this will be a bit of a rant)
So I'm happily playing Starcraft 2, 3rd game in the placement league and I'm hoping to at least make silver. Game starts, right, sort out workers, another on the way, "gl hf", desktop appears.... Wait what? Back to Starcraft! Now! Wait, where is it? Why are all my programs closing? AHH WINDOWS! WHY?!
Windows decided that, because I didn't explicitly tell it not to, right then would be the perfect moment to restart to install updates. Ahh gee, thanks Windows how considerate of you. I can see so many uses for that feature, like if i was out the house and downloading some games off steam, or making dinner waiting for some heavy code compilation to finish up, it's always a good time really. I'm aware I can probably turn it off but I'd never thought to, this is a relatively new computer and this is the first time it's happened. But why is it a feature? Does anyone ever find that useful that their computer restarts randomly if they don't tell it to?
Sorry about the rant, I'm a little peeved right now and needed to vent, so to add real discussion value. Has this sort of thing happened to you at just the worst time? Share your latent rage at poor design choices or faulty power supplies!
