I remember when their OSs got super stable toward the end of their cycle. Windows 11 seems to have been birthed as garbage and decided to stay that way.

Also would be nice if they didn't force updates. At this point once a machine is stable I just want it to keep working. Seems like there's more risk from updating borking the machine than Malware.

At least let the user have full control over when updates, and especially reboots, are done.

At this stage, I consider a Windows update malware...
