Ok, so a newer version should be fine I guess. If that’s the case, the title should be: “If you’re still running these prehistoric software, Windows won’t be able to update“

Too late. People in comment section already decided to install Linux

Can’t complain about that conclusion either. It fixes all your Windows problems once and for all.

[–] BearOfaTime@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But doesn't solve your Linux problems

But... clickbait and drama~~~

You should know people only read headlines!

[–] Hamartiogonic@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah, and the headline is supposed to maximize the clicks, along with your fear, hatred and rage.

i'm still not really sure why this would matter. Does updating break that software? Seems like an easy fix.

[–] Hamartiogonic@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That was a weird article. The simplest fix would be to keep your apps updated.

Although, in typical MS style, the error message will probably be either vague and cryptic or otherwise completely useless. If you stumble upon an update problem like this, troubleshooting it doesn’t sound fun.

ah right, yeah, that part of microsoft, i forgot about that one.
