Does Microsoft love us? Why was Windows 10 free?

The phenomenon was known to Windows users. An update does not work and problems start, which stop with the intervention of Microsoft, which with an update corrects the situation. With the advent of Windows 10, instead of reducing bugs for updates, there are more and more reports with problems related to them.

So we read the updates never finished, or even worse the updates that after a reboot destroy the system.

The company does not give Home users the ability to completely block updates or stop their automatic installation. In fact, if you run Home or Pro, you have very few options to check what updates will be installed on the system.

While Pro users may postpone updates (can not block them), the postpone only applies to updates Microsoft does not consider critical. This means that all security updates will be installed immediately, even if Update Snooze is enabled.

You may think that you are using the latest stable release, but all of the above prove the opposite.

Although the company has several beta testers for Windows products, it can not publish updates that work. There are internal beta testers, via Microsoft, for example, and all Windows Insiders on two different rings, testing beta versions of Windows 10 before being officially placed on the fixed channel

(Windows for Business ) can completely block updates, Home and Pro users will have to install them

What does this mean?
