Microsoft has gone hysterically insane with updates. They need to write solid code instead of demanding constant daily, even hourly, updates to crappy code.

The real problem with microsoft's updates is not so much the volume, as the insanely primitive way they are applied.

Take some media and install Win 10 from scratch. Then download/apply/reboot, download/apply/reboot, download/apply/reboot, download/apply/reboot, download/apply/reboot.

Install Linux Mint 18.1, which was released in a similar time frame. Download/apply/reboot. You're ready to go.

This is because Mint, like other Linux distributions use a modern package management system. Windows is stuck somewhere back in the 90s with their package management.

I think the last time I had to reboot after an update was about 6 or 8 years ago (on Linux)..
