That's because the average joe of a windows user doesn't know how to manage them. I never had problems with them, except when I got one some time ago and forgot to restart it myself, so it restarted itself when i was away for a dozen minutes. It's YOUR problem, not Windows', but it's not to say Windows doesn't carry its own fault.

mahoraz577ywindows 10 updates are a real pain if you dont have an SSD... and also if you arent afraid of getting hacked. why?
It constantly tries to download and share updates whenever you turn on the computer, often going to 100% disk usage for about 30min(if your machine isnt under the table the noise will literally drive you nuts). Aditionally it turns itself on after 10min of you turning it off or setting it to sleep, upon which it starts to do its aditional update and telemetry run.
I neded up disabling the windows update modules and services but surprise surprise... it turns itself on after a day or two. The only way iv found to stop its madness is to forbid the usage of TIworker using group policy rules that can only be done under windows 10 pro -
My sister installed a Windows 10 update a few days ago. Computer restarts and there's this lovely error that says "Windows could not complete the installation. To install Windows on this computer, restart the installation." Spent a few days fixing it. Thankfully I could still access the admin cmd prompt and copy her files over to my external drive. Tried to reinstall Windows and keep her files, got the same error. Clean install fixed it.

Actually updates on Linux are often not fatal. On Windows on the other hand, it can make your OS unbootable
