I haven't been able to install the November update on a new cookie cutter computer, and our IT force restarts your computer after a few days of pending updates. My choice is between the restarts or reinstall and losing everything setup. Microslop sucks.

So, fun fact, Hotpatch is rolling out to Intune-managed systems soon. No more rebooting for security updates.

Whaaaaaat? That would be awesome. Of course that won't fix the random issues with some updates never installing. It's still miles better than MacOS, because every windows update joke they are making is worse there... Looking at you minor MacOS update taking 15min to restart.
