Yes. I've had this issue on almost every version of windows so far. As usual with Windows the only way to fix these issues is by reinstalling the operating system. After decades Microsoft still doesn't have a working update solution.

Compare this with most linux distributions. The updates can run in the background, the update process is often significantly faster and finishes in a few minutes and finally I don't need to reboot unless the kernel is updated.

Another note for people unfamiliar with linux: Even in the case of a kernel update you can just reboot whenever. There's nothing prompting you or forcing you to do it at any specific time.

Windows update is definitely my #1 reason to switch to linux.
