Then failed half way through, and needed another hour to “reverse changes”.

only if you have a shitty computer full of garbage. My windows updates only take 2 minutes or less. even feature updates only take about 4 minutes to reboot.

Windows is only shitty if you don’t know how to use it. Just because you know what the buttons do doesn’t mean you know how to use it.

Bullshit, paid Windows shill. Even a brand new, high end PC on a fast internet with a fresh (non-OEM full of crap) install of Windows takes LITERALLY SEVERAL HOURS to fully update and often even minor updates will take at least an hour depending on what’s being updated.

Don’t give me that shit. You know it’s a lie. Windows is trash.

How does that “garbage” affect update time?

It says “several” but I think it means “many”, important distinction to make there Microsoft.
