    i’ve had more issues with forced updates from pc manufacturers–whether via their own update mechanism or through windows update, including bad bios updates that literally bricks a pc to the point a board swap is needed.

    windows ones almost always ‘install’ correctly… it’s often more a question ‘why tf do i want this shit?’

    the ‘automatic’ updates should strictly be security patches and critical non-security bug fixes. new and substantially-changed features should be optional or deferred to… ya know… the big updates each year called ‘feature updates’, and not rammed down users’ throats every month.
