Windows updates are unpopular due to their implementation. Among other issues: they require a restart, they run complicated transactional flow rather than snapshots + patching the files, they kill the desktop state, they require extra processing on the next startup right as you want to actually do work, the whole delivery system is super complicated to suit enterprises, and yet it is still not able to handle user apps in the same flow.

If they implemented a proper A/B booting with preserving the intent/state of open apps most people wouldn't even realise an update happened and wouldn't complain.
