Author is kind of a whiny idiot. This doesn’t invalidate the issue, but basically everything they do sets themselves up for failure.
They also illustrated that it is getting better - and it is. Windows 7 updates - especially from SP1 - were voodoo science (if you weren’t lucky enough to have imaging/etc). Windows 8 was better, 10 even more so, and 11 is just 10 but otherwise awful.
The early days of windows 10 was rough. Every major update they just reinstalled the OS.
Buuut it meant that you could install the latest version, and at worst only have a few more updates before you’re fully updated. Vs like 7 you’d install SP1, then spend 3 hours installing subsequent updates and rebooting.
That said sometimes windows like purposefully throttles installing updates and I just want a button that says “install as fast as fucking possible”. I know it slows down on battery, but plugged in please just go as fast as you possibly can.
