I remember Nintendo Wii.
Nintendo: "Hey, a new system update is here."
Me: "So what's new?"
Nintendo: (shrug)
Homebrew people: "This patch changed nothing, except they tried to plug a hole. Damn, took us almost 10 minutes to counteract that this time!"
(OK, there was one system update where they added the ability to run stuff off of the SD card, but beside that, there were a whole bunch of updates where they tried to stay ahead of homebrew/pirates and failed spectacularly.)
If they told people it was just to add more "telemetry" and ads, they wouldn't install it.
That was my first instinct haha. Came to comment "new telemetry"
do they give you the option to not install? i remember windows just updating without ever asking anything
There are ways around it, but yeah, I think they pretty much get forced on most users afaik.
There are songs tools which will disable update altogether, Windows Update Blocker... But you know, use at your own risk or whatever.
Ads.
They just don't want to tell you about them.
They want you to find out organically and immediately explode into inconsolable incandescent rage as you tear your system inside out to remove them.
New ads.
And sometimes it corrupts your drives. Just for fun.
Don't forget new keywords to trigger bing search in the start menu vs opening the local program.
there are detailed changelogs for almost every single KB on Microsoft's website
Yup
Here are the changelogs of the latest 23H2 update, and all the smaller incremental updates:
Microsoft software is well documented

I always read details of updates before I do them. Sort of sad to see most people don't.

They built a web browser into my start menu.
Why...
It's not like they're the first ones to do it either. Ubuntu did it before them and it was a massive disaster. Miscrosoft couldn't not have noticed it. They've seen what happened, and they went "Yes, that's exactly what we want" anyway.
I know it’s fun to bash on Microsoft, but:
Microsoft also really likes to install the update on your machine, wait a while, then finally activate whatever feature it is they changed.
Like I think I read somewhere that every machine running 22H2 around the time 23H2 came out was actually running 23, but with most of the new features turned off. Also even before 23H3 came out they were sprinkling those features into 22 so by the time I updated nothing changed.
Yeah, for that reason, the feature upgrades only take a normal restart compared to the 30+ minute upgrade of the past.

Updated the ~~tracking analytics~~ customizations and user info prompt we spam you with every time you restart
Just resetting your preferences to Microsofts preferences. They have to do that frequently; otherwise you might start to think it's your machine.
Probably updating the Pilot AI to be more sly sbout spying on you
Dunno, but graphics drivers stopped working again! Go reinstall them!
A long time ago you used to get a list of changes.
