Do you ever get annoyed by all the updates.. I will just be minding my own business then all of the sudden I get hit with a message

We need to restart so we can put these stupid updates in. Its going to take about a half hour to install them all.. You better not shut off your computer during this process or it will explode!

Well it doesnt say that but you know what I mean

Yep.. Love the way you worded the message. Basically what Microsoft is saying, but in a more so civilized manner. My HP laptop computer is constantly being updated.. Just this morning I had three updates, and it took about 10 minutes for to finish the configuration process. Problem is, it reminds me every 5 seconds that you need to restart your computer and install the updates, and if you don't it will keep bugging you, so after the 6 or 7th message, I'll restart.
 
Mine's real fast. I don't mind it. Does get annoying though - once I delayed it by 10 minutes, came back and my computer had restarted.
 
I hate it when Windows decides it will restart my computer, ummmm it's MY computer, I'LL decide when it's restarted.

So automatic updates are turned off on my computer

I work on the computer a lot---so most of the time I'm in the middle of something when the stupid computer tries to restart.... I hate it.

Yeah. My computer is ten times slower after it restarts to re configure the new updates. So I have to clean the registry and defrag my computer. Other than that. I don't have any major issues. 
 
Every time there are updates available on Windows 8.1, it usually blocks the access to the tiles interface and the online videos become unable to be played, so they pretty much force you to update immediately if you want to continue using your PC. It wasn't like this on Windows 7. I find it pretty annoying.
