There never seems to be a good time for an operating system update. Never. Even though their coercing little pop-ups may be annoying, spare a thought for Microsoft, who ended up forking out $10,000 because of one Californian’s run-in with its Windows 10 update. Teri Goldstein, a travel-agency business owner, told The Seattle Times that her work computer attempted to download the Windows 10 update without her authorization. Although she reportedly clicked the “X” on the pop-up, the update unwittingly downloaded. However, within a few days, the update failed and ended up crashing her computer. The crashing of her computer meant she was unable to work. Even after she reached out to Microsoft support, her computer was unusable. Seeking compensation for her lost wages and a new computer, Goldstein took the tech-giants to court. After a long court case and an appeal on the part of Microsoft, they eventually agreed to pay a sum of $10,000. Microsoft denied any wrongdoing on their behalf and insisted they only dropped the appeal to avoid further expenses.
