I’ve had issues on Windows 10 recently with windows updates not installing properly. After lots of research in their forums I found that I have to run scripts people have come up with to fix the issue, which just does not seem trustworthy or user friendly. I have just let these updates repeatedly fail because I am worried about messing up my installed OS somehow. On top of this drop in quality, I’ve seen more and more anti-competitive / dark pattern behavior with notifications and pop ups trying to push me towards Microsoft software and services. I feel like Microsoft is violating what a general purpose computer is supposed to be. Are newer Windows versions any better about software quality or these dark patterns? Given that MacOS already is free of such nagging and is already great functionally (like on battery life and performance), I am not sure what motivation there is (other than price?) to take a chance on future Snapdragon Elite laptops.
