Windows needs your help updating ( feddit.uk )

Windows is a service...

No, you're an Operating System. If you were a service, I'd be going into task manager, killing your process, and setting the service startup mode to Disabled.

Why would you be using Windows for displaying literally what looks like a static image, maybe a video? Seems like massive overkill.

True, but if you're a small independent business it's pretty reasonable to believe they don't have any techies. Just grabbing a basic Windows PC that you already understand is probably a simple enough solution.

What would you use instead? Please don’t say a raspberry pi running mint or something lol

if it's just a menu board on the wall behind the counter, why tf not?

I'd love to get a job at one of these display board companies (or the local IT if they do it themselves), and tell them I can save them thousands.

A Pi Zero 2W, TFTP boot, you've saved masses of hardware cost and saved yourself a Windows licence.

Replicate that for all the displays over all the stores, done.
