and yet another reason to never want forced automatic updates on WIndows :|

doesn't matter if the fix is easy people shouldnt have to experience the issue period.

Then no one would update and complain when their PC hit by something that an update fixed. I am not defending it but that is part of reasoning. Also for most part means most users are on at least the latest version of 11. No stragglers... or not many.

So many different machines out there with so many different combos, pretty much every patch hurts someone.

I have this update, my pc must have the right combo not to have problems. That always seems to be case.

Another month and another Microsoft quality issue and they wonder why they are one of the more disliked big tech companies.

This reasoning is old and silly. Microsoft is well capable of releasing stable updates. It did so in the past with Win10, as I never had any issues. It's only been the recent year or so when it got bad. I switched to Mint completely, even for gaming (through Proton Steam), particularly due to bad updates. A fresh Win10 install, not even a month old was getting wdm blue screen errors for no apparent reasons after updates. It made the system unable to boot. Removing updates helped, until another one installed in a week.
I use Mint for everything and couldn't be happier. Everything works and updates don't break the system.

I updated my ASRock BIOS with the new Intel code the same day I got this update. On the BIOS reboot the system wouldn't start and I started hard booting several times. I left to get a screwdriver to reset the BIOS and when I returned it was in Windows. I restarted and it took a while also but I waited and it finally got to Windows. Afterwards, it was fine and now boots nicely. I was blaming the BIOS but maybe it was Windows.

It didn't so in the past with Windows 10, as some users had some issues.

Who is stupid enough to install a "preview" update? Why do they even often "preview" updates. Just release a full final update. I don't need to preview crap.

Mine was just updated by windows, I know not to go looking for them but if windows installs it anyway, its hard to avoid.

Count me as the not many stragglers . I haven't updated since july 2023.
Yes it is possible to block MS updates , even in home edition.
I don't want all the changes to W11 .
