Microsoft’s original promise for Windows 10 was that “Windows as a service” would make life with your PC simpler. Instead of the disruption (and cost) associated with a major upgrade every three years, you could expect those big changes to be broken down into smaller update packages that would arrive, free of charge, roughly twice a year.
That’s not exactly how it worked out.
The first few Windows 10 feature updates turned out to be more like full-sized upgrades: time-consuming to install, disruptive to productivity, and difficult to postpone or manage, as my readers were not shy to point out.
