    Those asshats…

    I’ll stick to my nightly builds of neovim with plugins pulling straight from main the second I get the update notification in 3 key strokes.

    So, they’re going to add an option for VS to update itself automatically, and leave that disabled by default?

    This sounds entirely benign and useful. Unironically. What is the controversy here?

      It’s NOT off by default. It’s on/off according to the setting you have for “Receive updates for other Microsoft products. Get Microsoft Office and other updates together with Windows updates”. If you have that on, then auto VS-updating will ALSO be on. The controversy is no developers want auto-VS updating on, even if they DO have that other setting on. Auto-updating Office and auto-updating VS aren’t the same thing at all. I for one never update Windows and VS at the same time, because if something breaks in your app, then how do you know which update broke it if you did them at the same time?
