As little MSFT-specific stuff for me as possible, which keeps it far more manageable. And no C# either. If I can new objects, I can bloody well delete them.

Yeah, would be nice if a future update could allow the patches to be pushed via windows update and installed at the same time as your next planned restart.

Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

At least they don't force it on you and interrupt your work day, so there's that.

Go to settings for Windows update and check "Recieve updates for other Microsoft products when you update Windows".
Works for me.

Could've sworn I had that turned on...
Probably just forgot when setting this PC up.

I have that turned on as well, but Visual Studio updates do not come through Windows Update.

I have the latest production VS and the latest preview VS - I can code with one while the other is updating

VS updates work very differently than Windows updates, in terms of its insistence for getting them installed.
Is there really any reason you can't postpone the VS updates until you're not going to be using your system?
Most of the time I get update notifications for VS in the middle of the day. They're not preventing me from using VS. I just wait until quitting time (sometimes I let it wait for days, sometimes another update has already come out by the time I gave it the okay), then tell it to go ahead..and wait for the process to get far enough I know it's not going to be waiting for a confirmation prompt. By the time I come back next morning, everything's done.
Windows updates OTOH...don't get me started...

I have been using Visual Studio for many years, now on 2019 (16.4.3). Updates don't really bother me. I even enjoy reading Update Notes so I am familiar with updates.
|
|
|
|
|
I don't have this problem. VS notifies me of the updates and patiently waits until I'm ready to do the update. I've learned to check the notification flag only when I'm done with my work.
|
|
|
|
|
I mean, it waits for me. It's just that i never remember to update at the end of the day. Or I need to add packages mid day.
In those cases, it would be nice to have a spare VM running to install on while I'm using it in the other VM.

When you see that an update is available, just start the VS Installer before bed and allow it to do it's thing overnight. Seems easier than juggling VMs.
|
|
|
|
|
You can also run VS Installer, and it will check for updates. Not a problem for me.
|
|
|
|
|
You could use VS Code for editing while the update runs.

I wish I liked VS Code. I use MonoDevelop

That was a joke born of frustration. I had "act" and "ator", but could not get any further, probably because I didn't really know what an actuator was for. So thanks for the electronics lesson.
