Ugh, I gotta boot into Windows later tonight to get some classwork stuff done and it’s gonna want to install crap since I haven’t booted it in a couple weeks. I’m running Bazzite (it’s Fedora based) on another drive and hopefully I don’t have to deal with this, based on what I’ve seen I think my setup will be fine. (Anyone in Minnesota want to sell me an older MacBook for cheap so I don’t have to deal with Windows for six more months?)

EDIT: I just bought a MacBook Pro from Free Geek Portland. Now what’s the best way to keep Windows from updating for the next two weeks?

Disable automatic updates with group policy

@brb @AlligatorBlizzard that also poses a great security risk since the majority of updated are security-related, even though they also break stuff

For just 2 weeks it’s probably fine but good disclaimer

Turn off automatic updates for Windows. There is no reason to allow it to automatically eat up an hour of your time when you just want to run some local program for 5 minutes and log the fuck out again. Just run security updates before doing any crazy web stuff.
