Sounds reasonable. But can't they keep them seamless? (silent) The other day I woke up, and out of nowhere I got the Anniversary Update (must have triggered during my sleep). Desktop style messed up, taskbar messed up (IE and something else magically decide to come back), a few things added to startup, some new windows 10 Skype app trying to log me in without even asking (really?? and it basically "stole" the credentials from the regular app?? quickly uninstalled it), SkyDrive pops up and tries to do stuff, VirtualBox broken for some reason - had to reinstall, a few file associations reverted to defaults, and most funnily no obvious new features. It's like someone searching through your house leaving a big mess behind without a decent excuse.

> and out of nowhere I got the Anniversary Update (must have triggered during my sleep). I have noticed that thanks to UEFI (or something related to it) my laptop can no start doing things in the middle of the night even if i put it very firmly to sleep earlier.

The Anniversary Update (and previous Windows 10 edition updates as well) is basically a re-installation of the whole operating system with the settings from the old installation migrated to the new one. This migration is not quite seamless, always a few options/settings that have to be re-done manually for me. But that has nothing to do with this new cumulative security update model, it's not a full re-installation.
