Yeah, updates is why I really dislike Windows. The rest I can live with. I prefer Ubuntu + i3 or Mac OS X, but if I have to use Windows, then it’s mostly doable besides the updates. Be it updates to the OS or Visual Studio (which is why I do use it; Xamarin); random breakage and it takes far too long and happens far too often.

Honestly updates seems to be a more or less solved problem in Win10, for general use at least.

Well... about 3 months ago my Windows 10 machine got stuck updating. Basically it just kept endlessly updating the same update consuming huge amount of resources;
At first I figured i just let it do it's thing so i waited and waited and just kept it running over night. After a few days i noticed it was the exact identical update it kept installing over and over.
I searched online, and many people were having exactly the same problem. At that time there wasn't a solution yet. So in the end, i just gave up...
- i'm a developer btw so i have at least some technical knowledge :)
(can't remember the exact KBxxxxx number unfortunately.)
Especially the endless Update-hell in Windows which regularly and spontaneously brakes things and consumes hours and hours of your time.
Never experienced this on my Macs. (Of course nothing is 100% perfect, but the difference is huge in my experience.)
