A major Windows 10 update is underway. What’s happening?
Usually Win 10 updates last around a minute, but lately my PC ran a 20-minute update with warnings like "This will take a while" and a message about restarting several times. It kept restarting even after reaching 70%, and I haven’t seen anything like this before. What could be causing this?
It consumed 15GB of space and deleted my background photo. Also set up Microsoft Edge. Pffff
It also activates all the unnecessary features you turned off earlier. Be sure to re-enable them again.
I haven't turned off any services yet; I used the BlackViper script before, but it's no longer up-to-date. I'm not sure if there are other alternatives available.
It's reasonable to upgrade your Linux OS, though it does take some time and a reboot. Fedora 34 is available now. It's time to switch systems.
The updates mainly replace existing files directly, which is why certain system features return to their standard settings. It’s not unexpected.
Essentially, services are background processes that triggers on events. They are usually lightweight. Unless you need every KB of RAM because you have barely enough for anything, or you need every drop of CPH time at all time because you have a system powered by an Atom or something, there is no point in disabling. There was none for my current system that is now about 12 year's old. So certainly, not a concern for any modern system. Your services settings are cleared out because when a new version of Windows comes you are basically reinstalling the OS and Windows setup transfer everything, reinstall your drivers clean, and so on. Anything that might impact the user experience in a negative way are not transfered. Services config aren't transfered, much like many system tweaks done on the registry. So yes, it sucks for you, but for others who do stuff on their system they followed online without understanding (or the site/author providing the information has no understanding of what he is saying) they get stuff working again. So they are ups and downs to this.
