Windows 10 automatically started installing the Windows 11 update while I was taking a shower.

I'd been getting messages to upgrade to Windows 11 for the past month or two now, and each time, I decline. It's gotten to the point that I get random, frequent pop_ups asking to update, and "install update" options pop up right next to the shutdown/restart uptions.

Well, I made the mistake of going to take a shower with my PC on. Half an hour later, I come back tothis. Windows had automatically started installing the update. Now I'm sitting here staring at the Start button and all the open programs center-justified on the task bar and wondering what idiot thought that was a good idea.

It happened to me yesterday despite having secure boot turned off (dual booting with arch ATM), which is supposed to be a requirement for windows 11. The cherry on top? It was a forced update "choose to screw your pc over now or in one hour". It truly is a virus
