This isn't fair.

There's a bug in one of the most recent security updates on windows, something to do with the size of the recovery partition, so at the moment plenty of windows users aren't updating or failing to update, and it's not as if windows has fixed it yet either so most users are stuck waiting on it.

In other words: sometimes far too many updates, sometimes not enough (timely) updates, often broken updates.

I have a laptop that's suffered from that for a while now, so it's not just one update but a trend. Tried a number of things from clearing space to even a manual download on a USB to force it. It always reverts back to churning away trying to complete the update, restarting, and then reversing it. The irony is the laptop works fine until it comes time for it to check again, then repeat ad nauseam.

Yes. Throw out all electronic devices and go live as a shepherd.

I tried that, but it's just way too much effort to get Internet Explorer running on Wine.

Didn't hear it it - and seldomly booting my windows...
