The set of "as simple as possible" solutions frequently has no overlap with the "as complicated as needed" solutions.
That is frequently a result of different people determining the two subsets.

I agree. One might say simplistically
"Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder."
or English or American expression "there is more than one way to skin a cat" (sorry cat lovers).

For those of you who can make sense of Swedish, and enjoy standups about statistics: Om sannolikhet (About probability)[^] will give you a good laugh (even with this worn-out-VHS-tape-quality from 1969).
There are so many puns and so much word play that any subtitling to English would be losing a whole lot of it. It looks as if noone has given it a try. Sorry for you non-Swedish speakers.

I was always taught that "average" is a generic term that can indicate any of mean, median, or mode. The Oxford dictionary definition tends to support that though is even more vague about the meaning of "average". However the Open University[^] seems to agree.
Personally it therefore really winds me up when so-called "academic" papers refer to "average", as it doesn't supply enough information. Maybe in the US "average" has taken on the meaning of "mean", but what term do you then use to encompass mean, median and mode?

I might need to hit my head against the desk, but I learned today the dos command:
winget
it will scan your whole system for software that needs update, and then is you decide to do it, it is waaaaaayyyy faster than many options I have seen.
Example: winget list
You will get all the installed software and the 2.column from the right is the new version available (if filled)
M.D.V. 
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I was told that the update through winget only becomes possible after Microsoft checking the official site and being allow to scan the installers, so you theoretically have the defenses of Microsoft in the background and a secure connection through https to the official link.
That's why not every software are available, but even then, the "list" argument is a cool way to check if something is in a system or not, it looks pretty damm complete.

I've known about winget for quite a while but never really bothered trying to use it. So I gave it a go.
I know I have Paint.NET 5.0.9 installed, and that 5.0.10 is out (I just haven't taken the time yet to download/install it). So, "winget list" indeed shows Paint.NET, but 5.0.9 (the version I have) in the Version column...no mention of 5.0.10. I'm not sure how I'm supposed to know that there is a newer version available (other than the fact I did, in this particular case, have prior knowledge).
So I tell it go ahead and update that:
winget install dotPDNLLC.paintdotnet
This is the result:
Found an existing package already installed. Trying to upgrade the installed package...
Found paint.net [dotPDNLLC.paintdotnet] Version 5.0.10

Nested installer file does not exist. Ensure the specified relative path of the nested installer matches: C:\Users\[ProfileName]\AppData\Local\Temp\WinGet\dotPDNLLC.paintdotnet.5.0.10\extracted\paint.net.5.0.10.winmsi.x64.msi
Sure enough, the file it extracted under Temp is an .exe, not an .msi.
Paint.NET isn't exactly an obscure thing at this point, nor are they constantly changing their installer - it's been the exact same upgrade process for years. Why isn't this working out-of-the-box?
You know what they say about first impressions...
I mean, this is definitely a step in the right direction - if only it worked.
