I agree with all the things they are doing recently are making it way worse as a product, but I never really agreed on the whole "broken updates" thing. As someone who has used Windows forever and also an administrator at work, I can only recall 1 time where updates caused an issue when they were pushed through WSUS, and we quickly stopped the update. Personal use i have never had an issue.
If anything, I've experienced way more issues whenever updating a Mac. They break stuff all the time, especially when its a newer OS update.
Super anecdotal, but I've seen a few instances of those in my time as sysadmin.
Whether it was just failed or malfunctioning updates, I can't tell, but I've had to deal with Windows not starting correctly after automatic updates multiple times.
Then there was the whole bricked HP laptop story recently, where automatic updates just randomly killed a lot of systems. We have multiple HP laptops in the company, though none were affected, but I can't say I wasn't sweating a little bit those days.
