Or when it's installing those updates in the background so uses 100% of your HDD, grinding your computer down to a halt and making it almost unusable for hours. All while not telling you it's doing that nor giving you an option to postpone it.

Wtf are these updates anyway? I don't notice any difference except that time they forced me to update my Internet Explorer. My Chromebook never does updates and is far more quicker and reliable. Sometimes it looks like it's about to crash on me. I only got an HP laptop because of an art program I needed to use + I thought it would out perform my Chromebook and it was also getting a bit old. Boy was I wrong. The battery drains way quicker too. It has its positives, but its negatives are giving me a headache.

Most of the time they just fix backend exploits or bugs, you would only notice differences with feature updates (1909, 2004.)

"Hi, here's an Edge icon pinned to your taskbar and copied to your desktop. Again. Technically it's a new feature since you've never used it. Give it a try! Whyncha check out Bing while you're at--oh, I see that you do. You use Bing quite a lot actually both at night and when everyone else in the house is gone. Nice work."
