My laptop is updating and it is taking too long. This is why, I have decided to cancel the update because I have to finish my work. It always updates which I find rather annoying. Do you hate it when you computer updates?

Usually it will take about a few minutes and that is OK. But actually I don't really need the update. As long as my computer works well, I don't mind it won't update.

I have waited for 20 minutes or so that is why I have decided to cancel the update in the meantime

@freelancermariagrace That's the reason why I usually opened an hour before teaching online. Just in case...

Likewise! It is interfering out work, big time.

I can postpone the updates to overnight. It is a royal pain when you want to use your computer and it suddenly updates

That’s what I usually do especially when the internet connection is intermittent

I have redeemed myself from such annoyances by thowing both Microsoft and Apple into the trash bin where they belong. Hooray for open source! I can help you online, if you like...

No mine updates when I am ready to get off the computer so it does not interfere with anything I am doing.

Yes, we can schedule the update. Maybe I really don't have the patience to wait for things like this especially if it will impede my work
