For interest. I have had to delete and re-delete this thing eight times today alone!
What are they thinking of?

ZigzagBark12830 - I absolutely agree. This is ridiculous. This damn thing interferes with, freezes or closes whatever it is I'm trying to do, and as a full time student with mostly online classes, I'm going to be livid the day I'm kicked
out of an online exam because of this stupid updater.
This thing appears, no different than an online pop-up ad, literally all day, every. single. day. I've uninstalled the thing over and over and over and over and over and it continues to pop up the next time I use my computer (not the next time I
start the computer either; just the next time I sit down to it) it pops up again, over and over and over and over and over and over. I do not care either way if I have the update. I don't want the update, I couldn't care any less. But I'd do anything
to make its pop-up ads disappear.
So I tried to let it install the update. But of course there's some kind of issue. It says I do not have enough space on my computer to install the update. Now, I have a little netbook. I don't, or rarely do, save anything to it. It all goes on a thumb drive,
or One Drive. The only thing I have on my computer at all is Firefox because Edge and Chrome are awful. Even after going through the whole computer and making space, it still said it didn't have enough space to update. So, since I don't have anything saved
on my computer anyway, I went ahead and did a factory reset. I thought this would ensure I'd be able to just get the probably-pointless update to go through and get rid of the merciless pop-ups. Nope.
My computer was empty. Post-factory-reset-empty. No Firefox. No programs. Not so much as one single photo. Nothing. And would it update? "Not enough space." All for an update I really don't care whether I have or not. All just to try and get rid of Windows'
pop-up ads that have infected my computer like a freaking virus for at least the past six months. Pop-ups from an "update assistant" that won't allow me to use the updates, then continues to tell me to update, then won't allow me to update, then tells me to
update, and on and on and on.
I've tried to just live with it. This has been going on for a long time. Like I said, at least six months. How is the "update" not outdated by now? But I really can't deal with it anymore and I have to say something. It's driving me nuts. And I
shouldn't have to deal with it!!!!
Windows - you need to give people a solution to this. It is a maddening problem that makes absolutely no sense and you are obviously refusing to fix it. We are your customers, do your job. Because this is seriously such an awful and obnoxious thing to
make your customers deal with. I'm obviously not alone here either. please offer us an answer.
