We use Windows 10 Professional on all 9 of our computers. The Windows update system is pretty stupid, very stupid. We set up projects that link 4 computers together to share the processing load for big projects. All 4 computers have to be on and have network access to a RAID where the files are located. Some projects run for three weeks straight just moving zeros and ones around. Invariably Windows decides an update needs to be installed right now!

The CPU is running flat out, all the cores are maxed, the video cards is doing all it can and Windows decided the computer is idle and really now would be a good time. We have to be vigilant and tell it don't restart for the longest delay it will allow, and change that every few days.

Before we start a big project we check for updates. Somehow Microsoft decides the next day would be the perfect time to force an update.

Some updates go in and change the networking settings and suddenly all the undated computers can's see the network drives or each other. But by golly Microsoft wants us to play some stupid games and install X-Box crap all the time. We do NOT ever play games, they are business computers. Microsoft seems to think every computer is a laptop used at a university and coffee shops and social media is important.

I guess Apple is not much different. The real focus is a student doing a lot of social media and going to coffee shops and using free wi-fi with a lap top or tablet computer. That is not our need at all.
