Actually it's the wrong question. Implement rebootless updates is the right ask. You'll have to reboot like once a month still but it's better than how it is now.

I had to reboot my laptop only once since 02-20. Similar the month before that. The only exception was around mid January. So this shouldn’t be much worse on average even now.

Is it? My IT forces a reboot every weekend.

Windows has some apparel to hot-patch functions. A regular reboot is recommended just for higienic purposes but should be possible to reduce them.

That’s completely on your IT. There was only 1 single day with patches released: March 10. There was only 1 in the month to that date: February 10.

My guess is that the shit ton of only-for-legal-reasons-useful “security” and surveillance programs demand way more restarts. My company laptop and VM are similar.
