Comment on Microsoft won't update your Windows 11 PC if it has these apps

Microsoft’s update mechanism breaks Microsoft’s update mechanism.
Microsoft’s update mechanism is just fucking awful trash, they should replace it with downloading an archive and unpacking it.
They seem to think they are very smart with all those binary deltas, but it appears to be so complex that nobody inside that company understands it fully, and that’s for more than 10 years.
Apparently people responsible for creating it still work there in important places, can’t find another explanation.
They probably failed upwards
There were so many times that updating Win7 was a nightmare. I used to do plenty of fresh installs on various PCs and I would have to wait a day or sometimes more to get the OS up to date. I would have thought we moved past this by now.
Definitely not. Sometimes you even have to install additional bloatware like “HP update assistant” because the built-in update system is dysfunctional af.
Yup or Dell SupportAssist, or Lenovo System Update, etc
