How did this OS get so broken? What makes the update process so terrible?

>using windows on a laptop
Windows is made for desktop computing.
>stream the ballgame
why would you need Windows to watch a video? Windows is a gaming OS, you should be dual-booting Linux and only using Windows for things Linux can't do.
Who watches streams on a computer these days anyway? #dinosaur
And garage? LOL wat?
If you think that's bad you should see it on Windows 7. Windows 7 is practically broken with updates.
>install 7 in 15 mins
>spend 3 hours updating with random security fixes and things that you have no idea what they are even doing
It takes many times longer to update on 7 than just installing an OS from scratch.
Even Linux is more user friendly in the TERMINAL, you know Microsoft fucked up.

Serves you right for not keeping your shit up to date. I don't want your fucking easily hackable laptop to be part of a ddos botnet fucking up my services.

it doesnt work that way

You can create what's called a 'slipstream' Windows 7 dvd. It's just an installation dvd that has all the upgrades integrated on it. I had to do this because I install it frequently, and the broken updates were ridiculous.

You could have just postponed the update/restart until the next day.

>implying that it works at all
pretty subtle there, anon

It works.
It's pretty easy. When it downloads an update it tells you it wants to restart to install updates and you go choose a time that will be convenient, like six days from now, and then restart and install manually when you free up some time for it.
Installing updates when you know you have things you want to do is pretty stupid.

And it doesn't matter which OS you are talking about. There have been cases where attempting to update OSX or iOS have caused problems that needed to be reverted or fixed through another patch.
When there is something you want to do coming up, don't use that time to install updates.
