    morons microsoft morons,

    Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1607 for x64-based Systems (KB3213986) - this has failed at least 10 times since 10/Jan/2017. there is no error code but this is what happens everytime win 10 updates.

    win 10 home version updates automatically - when I click shutdown - there are only three options (update and shutdown, update and restart or cancel) - have no choice but to choose update and shutdown.

    it will take 15 minutes to shutdown

    when I restart next time, it applies and configures for another 15 minutes, but it will shutdown again and then restart, then it throws this message that it cant apply changes and all changes will be undone. after 10 mins it will restart.

    I am not able to shutdown at all. I just close the laptop in sleep mode. this is horrible.

    what the **** do you mircosoft morons do..ever since idnian dogs are used to develop and QA, things have gone sh1tty.

    if u morons do have a solution, reply to ******@gmail.com
