    <p>Another cumulative update, another 3 week backlog of computers to repair.</p>

    <p>I've noticed even more aggravation with Windows updates then previous. How many times I hear people screaming "another bleeping update" while they are trying to get work done. Personally, I would like to go backwards to a time when I could select just to install critical updates and leave the rest to my&nbsp;time frame&nbsp;&nbsp;of when I install them. &nbsp;</p>

    <p>well doesn't affect me as they still haven't offered the creator's update to any of my PCs at home yet. Wonder if its possible driver issues or something they are sacred of.</p>

      <blockquote><a href="#119848"><em>In reply to Todd Logsdon:</em></a></blockquote><p>They didn't offer it to me either. I downloaded the ISO from the Microsoft's Website and installed it myself. No issues during install and it works fine.</p><p><br></p><p>https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10</p&gt;

      <blockquote><a href="#119848"><em>In reply to Todd Logsdon:</em></a></blockquote><p>In my case my home's fastest PC hadn't been offered the update, which I found a bit puzzling. I think there was an option in Update where I could force the update. It took me to a website where I downloaded the update. Otherwise no problems.</p>

    <p>I'm still trying to work out whether all these updates are a good or bad thing. Sure, MS look like they're acting on problems and fixing them, but FFS, Win10 is buggier than anyone could have ever imagined. I actually think this 'as a service' model just means bugs will proliferate for the entire lifetime of the product. Taking time to find bugs and squashing them properly just doesn't seem to be part of Microsoft's game plan.</p>

      <blockquote><a href="#119854"><em>In reply to Tony Barrett:</em></a></blockquote><p>This is what happens when they fire the QA division and leave "testing" to customers, combined with a mess of an update scheme they can't get right. </p><p>"We'll switch to an update rollup system so we only have to update once a month.."</p><p>"Oops, we keep releasing buggy rollups that require a bunch of interim patches; oops, some of the interim patches need interim patches."</p><p>The new update scheme is a bigger mess than ever. I sure do miss the service pack days, back when MS updates were trustworthy and didn't install a bunch of unwanted "features", because engineering – not marketing – was in charge of updating Windows.</p>

    <p>Windows 10 is broken. Treating the user base as beta testers, is resulting in deteriorating build quality. No wonder the adoption rate amongst serious enterprise and business users is faltering.</p><p>Too bad.</p>

    <p>Nice to see fixes keep rolling out. I don't understand the hate people have for updates – they're so easy to control now, there should almost literally be zero inconvenience.</p><p><br></p><p>Maybe I'm unusual, but I feel like my Windows experience is better than it's ever been. Would be nice if things like Groove got any attention, but really the core experience is excellent now.</p>

      <blockquote><a href="#119873"><em>In reply to Daekar:</em></a></blockquote><p>And if you don't like updates, you can turn them off for 35 days or so. After cleaning up after WannaCry because Windows machines didn't update themselves on Windows 7, I'll take the automatic updates of Windows 10.</p>

    <p>What a bunch of whiners.</p>

    <p>One of the problems with this model of updates is that many users don't even know what version of windows they're running. So when MS effectively pushes out version 10.3 most users aren't going to be aware of the new features unless annoying pop up boxes make them aware of it. I think a lot of these new features may go unnoticed by the vast majority of users who want to see their PC as merely a stable unsurprising appliance.</p>

      <blockquote><a href="#120292"><em>In reply to Greg Green:</em></a><em>If they do not know what version of their OS, they should use Mc instead due to most of Mc users do not know much about what computer really is.</em></blockquote><blockquote>Moreover, Mc does not update much now as its profit contribute is far less than iOS which make Apple happy on fee collect from developers in their apps store.</blockquote><blockquote>One thing you should know the more Microsoft update, the more they show they care and make Windows better and better.</blockquote><blockquote><br></blockquote><p><br></p><p><br></p>
