> If the problem is that Windows Update cannot work unless all patches apply flawlessly, then that's a failure of design. Not at all, it's better for an update to just immediately fail due to unsupported changes made to the OS than potentially leave the system in a unstable state. Windows was going to move to an image-based OS where updates would be atomic, but sadly that never happened (Windows 10X)
