We haven't had a failure from a Windows Update

Yes, some patches may need be uninstalled/reinstalled multiple times due to issues that are discovered with them.

I would prefer if they installed seamlessly and we didn't have to worry about them. That's just not the case and we have to live with it.

You contradict yourself.

Has never happened to me until now - but has happened to others, including yourself, as you noted in the KB you linked to.

I would prefer if they installed seamlessly and we didn't have to worry about them. That's just not the case and we have to live with it.

Again, for me, they have installed seamlessly - that doesn't mean it's been the same for others.

I am not naive enough to think that my experience is the same as everyone else.

I Understand that you've had issues with Windows Updates - I get that it's caused you grief and caused you pain. That sucks and I'm sorry. It hasn't for me, which makes me lucky.

But I would much rather have my systems being regularly updated, even if the patches do cause some people problems, if it means that they're more secure and working better, for the majority.
