Update and shut down....

[Ghostmaker]

Just a quick one. When you go to turn of your pc and you get the option to shut down. Or update and shut down.. what will the update do? 

 

Reaon being is i have a reverb G2 on windows 11. However.. windows 11 automatic update has been stopped by me in the settings.

 

Will this be a windows 11 update? And will it cause my G2 issues if i update and shut down?

 

Cheers

No, automatic updates has not been disabled on your machine. Windows will still do automatic updates even if you choose the setting that pretends to disable them.

But for now, these automatic updates should only be security updates, not 24H2. And you should still install those security updates. But Windows will probably get increasingly aggressive over time in forcing 24h2 onto you.

You can try modifying registry keys or use Gibson's InControl application to try to prevent 24H2 from installing, while still getting the security updates that you should install.

There was meant to be an update for october, i thought disabling updates will stop it? 

So if i update and shut down this will not effect the vr?

 

I want to get pimax crystal light when i can, and then i will put windows back to normal.

Like I said, the option to disable updates doesn't actually disable updates. Microsoft decides what updates they consider critical and they will push them on you regardless of the setting.

I would suggest to install the InControl software and locking the windows version to 23H2. Then you can enable automatic updates and let it install all the updates for 23H2. They will continu providing security patches for that version and possibly other fixes until the end of next year.

Then once you get the Pimax, you can unlock the version in InControl and let Windows install 24H2 or whatever newer version is then available.

One could tinker with the idea to buy one of those UNSUPPORTED games that prohibit 24H2 to install just to not get it installed, or attach a known not supported USB gadget just to stop it for the time.

I run it on this rig and I wish I hadn't been so curious about it, the whole experience sucks when your File Explorer crashes over and over again doing certain tasks and some other really annoying stuff in the GUI.

On my 2nd gaming rig it wouldn't install at all, what a gift actually, despite it tried to install day after day, night after night for about two weeks until it vanished from the update list by itself, still on 23H2. So at some point MS figured out, this machine won't install it as is.

Even stranger, I tried to FRESH INSTALL 24H2 on that rig and it told me this machine is not Win11 ready, LOL...it's running 11 ever since it came out and before too, every version there was until 24H2.

24H2 sucks big time and I hold it back on each and every machine I manage.
