I'm one that hasn't had a problem with the updates, I guess. I wonder, do you have the Pro version, or the Home version? There may be a difference there. I have the Pro version. I've always had Windows xxx Pro since they started producing a Pro version. cost a little more, but I've always found it better, or more stable, or something preferable to the Home version. Just my $.02 (and we know what $.02 is worth these days)
