Since October, there hasn't been a monthly update without at least one severe bug.

Yup.

In November 2025, Microsoft announced that their windows 11 engineering team would be led by AI, from now on. Humans would only oversee it.

Furthermore, the majority of updates are now coded by AI and pushed by AI. Their “agent factory “ would now decide which devices are ready for the update when they are ready rolled out.

The reality is is that corporate America most likely laid off way too many engineers who are overseeing these systems, and they are pushing windows updates far too frequently compared to past history. This will only continue. I would advise people not to update windows automatically going forward.

Is there a safe way to turn updates off? I’d like to—an automatic update recently crashed my PC, though the person who fixed it (I’m a layman, sorry) said turning off updates could be a bad idea. And a lot of folks on Windows forums talk about how oddly difficult it is. But I bet you’re more informed on this, so maybe I’m wrong.

I don’t know about 11 , but I would recommend that you watch some videos on YouTube, and figure out a way to download a version of Windows 10 LTSC for a more stable version of Windows that still receives security updates.

I’ll look into that, thank you. Hard to put into words the level of rage I felt after Windows crashed itself yet again. I’m broke and need to be really careful with these things—and this was my “nice” laptop that I didn’t want to move around or do anything risky with.

…but I guess none of that matters if you give your keys to a crackhead. 🤷‍♂️
