To my knowledge, it still happens. The concept’s called “Windows Rot” and has been there since the 90s. Hey, but maybe adding bloatware like screenshotting your entire screen, every five seconds will magically fix it. Also, Windows has moved away from its own framework for the start menu and has instead used the JavaScript React thingy, result being that if you spam the start menu button, you can saturate your CPU. That’s not a joke.
Do Linux users still think Windows updates are unreliable? Can’t remember a breaking release, personally or for my users, for 6 or 7 years.
For me it was more about updates installing junk I didn’t ask for, undoing configurations I’ve made, and resetting my menu customizations.
Otherwise I agree - updates never actually broke my system. They just made me not want to use it anymore.
When I still used this trash many years ago, it gradually made my PC slower. At that, consistently with every update.
Yeah, like I said.

Yes, because I also have a Windows installation and use it at work. So yeah, I do think it’s unreliable.
