Not necessarily. If more than one person wants the same name then only one person is walking away with it no matter if the login went smooth as silk or if everything is on fire and there's a mile long queue out the virtual door. The fact that the name was taken within a several minute period meant somebody else was also chomping at the bits trying to get the same name. It still would have been a tossup even if there was 0ms lag and no queue and everybody tried clicking submit at the same time.

Yeah, this is what a lot of people don't understand. For all I know, the only reason why I got "Foodbank" was because the 50,000 other people who wanted the exact same name were all stuck in queues much longer than mine.

You can disable the windows update service. Windows 10 has been automatically re-enabling the service even after you disable it in services.msc for a few years now, but this is all being done by scheduled tasks and the windows update repair service. The nanny overrides which flip the windows update service back on even after you disable it can be removed. Disabling the windows update service prevents Windows from just updating itself. Disabling it lets you manually turn it back on and manually update when you want to. This way no more surprise updates at the worst possible time :lol:

Yeah I already did that but I still notifies me that and update is waiting to process and can not get rid of it. I even followed youtube tutorials on other methods to disable updates and blocking them through firewall and many other means, it does not work. Windows update is the biggest Malware sham ever. Im just going factory reset my PC back to its fast original state and install a pirate copy and never have to worry about updates :) My PC is only 2 years old and is acting like its over 5 years old, its not fair. I still have a window 7 pc that runs beautiful because I switched off updates and looked after it. The only thing windows updates are deisgned to do is to force your PC to age without your consent, to force you to keep buying microsoft products on a regular basis.

Shit like that is why the last copy of Windows that I purchased was XP x64 Edition.

Nuke your Win10 computer's hard drive and install Win7 on it. Jeez.
