Windows 10: its update process is broken it randomly cuts of in the middle of doing my work. Then it spends hours rebooting, doing its update etc, all the time, the pc remains unusable.

And in the most recent version, it appeared to install more of an update behind the scenes, so there was less waiting if a reboot was required. As to why it’s more visible than Apple updates, I blame the lack of good, settled power management strategies for overnight wake-from-sleep use cases that Apple can specifically include parts and driver tuning for but that Microsoft seems to have a hard time with... oh and they refused to break legacy apps by introducing new APIs that restore app state after a reboot, which Apple introduced back in 10.7 Lion if I recall correctly.
