As sucky as modern Windows is, all you have to do to avoid this bullshit is to shut down the pc at night or whenever you’re not using it. That being said, half the time Windows updates, it tries to sucker me into subbing for Microshart 365.
Really the only OS that where hibernation and suspension works smooth enough for me has been MacOS so far. Windows wakes up the whole PC to do things. On Linux you get GPU related power state issues that cause weird things. On MacOS it has always “just worked” for me. Still not buying one though. Rather shut down my machine.
My only windows is force upon me as my work laptop. I sadly actually work for Microsoft. I literally only use it to SSH to my virtual machine running redhat.
Microsoft really enjoys forcing updates at the worst time when their employees are trying to work. Sometimes it literally just makes me stop working for that day. Their loss.

Not even that. Go into Task Scheduler and disable the “Update Orchestrator” task. Problem solved.
Until the next update reenables it.

MacOS just working certainly has a lot more to do with supporting an exponentially smaller array of hardware than either Windows or Linux does.
If you’re truly concerned about Microsoft re-enabling that task, it’s puzzling that you would suggest an Apple product as an alternative.
They are as anti-choice as it gets.

Doing what, working on Azure? Also why not just run Linux locally?
