Isn't that the point of nightly/beta opt-in builds? Shipping to 1% of stable would be more for testing scale-handling, whether people like it, etc, but the software itself should be relatively stable at that point
The issue is picking the users that are manually checking for updates. This used to be a precaution people applied onto their system, now it can actually make your system less stable.
I check for updates manually when I'm on fast, unmetered WiFi but will next be on slower or metered service, given Microsoft's penchant for huge downloads in the background. I shouldn't be punished for that.
I actually disabled all updates a while back because of stability and driver issues when I had auto updates on. Things are a lot better now and I don't have to worry about Windows restarting on me while I'm busy working. Probably will just do updates every few months or something like that. This makes me think I made the right decision haha.
The worst thing I’ve noticed is, when you disable updates on windows 10, you’re notified that you can disable for 30 days, and then if you want to disable it again, you have to do updates first.
Keeping your machine updated is a good idea and all but this is pretty insulting ...
