#Fail: Windows 10 Updates Pwns Pro Gamer

After Windows 10’s update nagware interrupted a weather forecast last week, we now have the story of a pro gamer who when going in for the kill on video game broadcasting site Twitch when this happened:

After deciding to try and ruin advertise during the weather by attempting to automatically install midway through a forecast, Windows 10 is starting to wreak havoc with gamers. Ex-professional Counter Strike player turned full-time streamer Erik Flom was rudely interrupted mid-game and live on Twitch by Windows 10 automatically installing on his PC.

“What. What!? How did this happen! Fuck you Windows 10!” Flom screamed at the PC. “Oh my God! You had one job PC. We turned off everything. Update faster you fuck!”

Initial outrage flowed into jubilation as it appeared Windows 10 was nearing completion, only for Flom to have his hopes dashed by a second installation countdown.

Wow. This guy is intense. But you can understand his frustration. Why would an OS in this day and age simply choose to update itself while you’re using the PC? That’s just insane. Hopefully this is just an isolated incident. But even if it is, it really shows that Microsoft really has some work to do in terms of making Windows 10 far less annoying.
