Do you want to grab a cup of coffee at work, but you don't want your boss to bother you because of it? This app might be a solution to your problem. Install Fake Update and start it whenever you want to leave your desk for a quick break. Your absence will not be suspicious and you will be able to enjoy your coffee break without stress. You can choose the duration of the updating simulation.

This app is perfect for open space working environment, banks or any kind of public job. For example, if you are annoyed by a crazy customer, just show him the screen and say - you see, there is nothing I can do :)

We all need a break from time to time. People are sometimes even more productive when they have a coffee break. Of course, don't use this app too often :)

Updating screen will soon be adapted for Windows 10 as well.

Haha, nice can you add a Infinite loop which only ends when a certain key combo (user customizable) is pressed?

Would be the perfect April Fools Joke

I was actually thinking of creating an "uninstalling windows and deleting all data" screen, I'll add it in the next version :)

Totally need an emergency shortcut key for this :D

Edit: Why is the app 12+?

You can't just go around showing fake Windows Updates to little kids, Shawn.

[spideymaniac]

Lol funny app, perhaps gonna try it asap, thanks OP!

You can't just go around showing fake Windows Updates to little kids, Shawn.

But my app restrictions applied by Gus (he didn't want me to install pineapples) say only 3+.

[dovlab]

Here, I added a prank "uninstall Windows and delete all data" page. Also, mouse cursor is invisible and users can add a "magic word" to stop the simulation. I already freaked out my colleague at work :)

[luke_f]

What an awesome idea!! :D

[someone2639]

Is it 12+ because the app is 2spooky4 12-?

[dovlab]

Actually, app is now 3+ :)

Permission for WP app?

Permission for WP app?

It is a desktop app not a WP app, but having a WP app like it would be neat.

If you could figure out how to blank secondary monitors the deception would be complete ;)

I am gonna scare the hell out of my friend with this thing , ,ROFL

[dovlab]

Well, I built it as an universal app, just didn't finish the phone version.

So the spinning gears for us

[dovlab]

The spinning gears and the "reset phone and erase data" to fool a friend. I was thinking about creating this screen:


but no matter what you click, it will start fake reset phone screen :)

[Corepc]

Cool, so after we hit the fake reset will it go to fake spinning gears on Phone version.

Well, on Windows 10 (still on build 9926), I can move the cursor to the top and close it.
