And it's pretty. Versions wins too

 

lol if you have half a clue you can stop this from happening very easily.

 

Exactly, you buy a Mac

Windows is for squares... just look at Metro, sorry I mean Windows 8 design language

 

Yea exactly buy a mac if you're too thick to use a proper OS

 

OK please tell me how I stop this from happening, I don't have an admin account, am part of a managed domain. Can you provide me with the half a clue I need? Maybe you could tell the other Windows users how to do it when they do have an admin account.

 

Proper OS, LOL. You're talking about Windows right? From Microsoft?

 

Or stick with Windows if you're too bloody minded to admit the error of your ways... I'm a recovering MCSD BTW, been clean and productive on my Mac for nearly 6 or 7 years now though thankfully

 

Well that's the whole point of a managed domain, to stop hopeless users like yourself messing with the settings and fubaring your PC

 

Hopeless, far from it, spoilt by OSX, maybe.

Have a read of this Fanboy then how about sucking on a lemon.

Don't see what your problem is. You simply turn it on or off via gpedit if you're managed or in DOS to stop the service. Or leave it pending from the GUI popup. The choice is there. Or stop being all **** about it and restart your PC when it asks you too, so you have the latest updates installed.

 

I don't think we're using the same operating system. The one I'm using reboots without saving my work and interrupts tasks to shut down, leaving me to come in to a machine at the login screen and a load more work to do. It annoys me and the rest of the connected world, somehow you're immune, see a doctor, you're special.

 

Assume we are talking Win7. Mine has never done that for me. Must be how you have it set up or your workplace has it setup if its your work machine that does the auto restart. I take the GUI option myself and leave it pending at 4 hour intervals usually and then shut it down rather than hibernating at the end of the day. It has never restarted by itself, either at work or at home.
