Windows Update can't take a hint

found on MemeBase

The more I think about it, the more it seems like each incarnation of Windows Update has mirrored some sort of bad relationship behaviour. You've got the overly persistent mode of operation (above) we all became familiar with over the years. Then with Windows 10 it stopped asking for consent and basically didn't give you a choice anymore. Finally, with Windows 11 it will reportedly withhold what you need and leave you vulnerable.

Is Microsoft unable to model their update process after a healthy human relationship, or do they just not know what one looks like?
