So yesterday I closed my laptop with "update and shutdown".
This morning it started with something like "updates being installed" and it said:

"This will take a while"

notice the subtle change from "This may take a while". I can kinda appreciate the honesty. Now, my laptop is a brand new i7, 16Gb, SSD machine, so quite fast. Well it took 30 freakin' minutes to get it updated. (notice that it takes like 20-30 minuted to do a clean install).

So I finally get to my login screen, happy with the ordeal being over, enter my biometric fingerscan only to be greeted by yet other screens saying things like "Hi", "We updated your PC", "We're actually not quite done yet" D'Oh! | :doh: (there goes the aforementioned honesty) all the while the screen is blinking almost giving one a (epileptic) seizure.

Finally, really finally, I'm allowed access to my desktop and a message in the bottom right corner appears: "Updates where installed, click this message for more information". So curious, what all the fuss was about, (it MUST be a major update, right?) I click the message. I'm greeted with the Windows 10 control panel window (Update History). "No updates have been installed yet."
Mad | :mad: F****[insert words and icons that violate KSS rule]****

While m$ did some significant work on stability and security, there main features "usability", "user-friendly", ... is going down the drain fast.

Unsure | :~
