Why is windows update so fucking slow?

I cant wait for this shit OS to die
>>52052860
Just don't use it. Once I switched to Linux, I slapped myself on the face for wasting so many house on Windows updates and infinite restarts.
>>52052875
There are still some things I need windows for, unfortunately.

ftfy
If you're going to try and do the whole "Hurr can't wait for Windows to die" shit, at least use an actual fuctional os, not a hobby distro.
I'm in Ops/Sysadmin, so I do Windows patching a lot.
It's a terrible pain in the ass exactly because it is so slow and unreliable. I don't even understand why it would be so slow - you already have one list of installed updates, you then have another of available updates, compare them and install the difference - that's it.
We automate most of it of course, but even then we often have individual machines where you manually have to finish it. The number of times I had to run a fixit for Windows Updates is absurd.
And now with Windows 10, you don't even get to properly select which updates to install and what they do. It's only gonna get worse.

I just installed Windows 10. Took an hour because I wasted time looking for graphics drivers on Intel's site instead of just clicking search for drivers in device manager.

I just don't get it. How can Linux be so much better than Windows as an OS? I'd go 100% Linux if the support for the latest hardware and software was better.

Nice b8 . Linux circle jerk.

How fucking retarded do you have to be to just untick the box while installing
>>52054267
retarded enough to be a windows user
OS updates and ricing are not a primary variable of my computer experience and therefore I do use Windows.

Linux does not have this problem ;^)

Nice try, made me reply 1/10
I have literally never had any issues in my 2 years of updating Arch everyday.
>not letting updates install automatically
oh wait lincucks dont know that feel because installing updates is all they can do on their OS
>not havimg fast internet

Okay mate.
>>52052975
Use it in a VM. Or install it alongside Linux.
>>52052860
>updates
just dont update?
>>52054860
I haven't had any problems with Arch either
>gaymer scum hasn't yet managed to shake off Windows
Actual answer for OP:
Yeah, the initial Windows update takes a long time but only on older versions like Vista and 7. 8.1 is fast and 10 is nearly instantaneous. From what I can tell about how it installs, it tries to be super duper safe about everything. It downloads, and then it checks the integrity, double checks the integrity, simulates installing, checks the integrity of THAT, deletes the simulated install and so on...
Windows Update is meant to be run automatically, so it has extra features where it can survive a shutdown in the middle of updating. That of course slows it down even more...
I once had a laptop with Fedora and was updating my kernel when I had to leave the crowded room I was in, like, immediately. Couldn't leave it there running in the room, so I was forced to shut it off, which fucked up my install... not a good day for me.
I would probably take a safe, slow update over a fast one which could destroy my install.

It is real but this is cruel thing to do to your cat.
