I seem to have passed that already. (I'm at 53.8K)
I don't pay much attention to reputation on this (or any other) site.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

You're welcome - at your current rate of progress, you'll be there in under a year (judging by the slope of your rep graph)

Not sure to get it so fast.
When I work, I spend less daily time on CP.

Congratulations ! And, some good news: recent MRI studies have isolated the part of the brain evidently responsible for frequently answering QA questions. The bad news: it can't be removed, or disabled ... yet.
cheers, Bill

With Windows 10, I've ended up with a situation where UWP apps (Store apps) will not update or install. All interactions with the store fail.
According to the log file (ReportingEvents.Log), it seems the issue is "WSUpdate Failure Content Install Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x80073cf9: Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 UWP Runtime Package."
This brings back fond memories of Windows 95 times, with msvcrtXX.dll causing issues between apps.
I'm not sure if the root cause is the same for other people, but looking at answers.microsoft.com, reveals that a number of people have faced similar issues, a number of "solutions" have been posted, none of which work for me. Frequently, the only solution that works is to reset the PC (i.e. reinstall).
As most of the app's I use are casual, I really don't think I can be bothered with spending a couple of days (at least) reconfiguring and reinstalling to get these working. But I must admit, it seems that for Microsoft, those who cannot learn from history are condemned to repeat it.
(Recently, excepting the great improvements re attitudes to other platforms and Open Source, it seems that MS are fully aiming to reach the 90% failure rate mentioned below).

That sounds like a bug in the update client then.
If I had a Windows 10 system it might be an interesting one to track down.

For me the question is:
Is it a W10 original installed or is it an updated W7/8?
In case:
a.) update: your mistake, sorry
b.) from scratch: Problem from MS?
Sorry, but I never do "update" an OS for major versions. A lot of very simple apps have Problems to to update. So why we should assume that an OS can be updated?
Only my mind.

I've been working with Windows for over 20 years now, I think I may have worked out not to update on major O/S releases

Do you use many "apps"? I find them slow and featureless, compared to the real (desktop) versions or equivalent desktop apps.
You can always double the size of displayed items and fonts (Control Panel\Display) and run desktop apps in full-screen mode, if you enjoy the "toy computer from the 1980s" feel.

Not really, just the odd casual game, largely played by my son.
I'll just avoid them until this is resolved, but after an initial response from MS, seeking further details, silence for 3 days now.

MS Edge has a list of articles to read on your blank page. I just realized that they now track what you read by dimming it. Not sure if it's done server-side or client-side.
Client-side. Logged off. Why was I logged on?

It's just the same dimming (i.e. followed-link styling) that happens with all followed links on every browser. Sheesh. This can, of course, be overridden with CSS or inline styling.
Paranoid much?

I get moments where everything is dim ... with the computer turned off. Of course, that could be just The Simulation doing an update, or, refreshing itself during a reduced bandwidth update caused by rogue gravity waves.
