Are two Windows 10 updates a year doing more to hurt users than help them?

Microsoft's latest feature update for Windows 10 doesn't paint a very good picture for Windows as a Service, so is it time to dial things back a bit?

Windows as a Service allows Microsoft to update Windows 10 on a regular basis with patches, security updates, and indeed new features. These new features arrive in the form of "major updates" that Microsoft has committed to releasing twice a year. While two major updates a year allows Microsoft to innovate and get new features out faster, it also causes a lot of headaches for the end-user.

Microsoft's latest feature update for Windows 10, known as the April 2018 update, has proven exceptionally problematic for a lot of users. Users across the web have been struggling with issues around dedicated GPUs, Bluetooth connectivity, notifications that wrongly alert the user of low storage, and a whole lot more. Of course, no update is perfect, but the April 2018 update seems much more buggy than previous feature updates to Windows 10 have been.

I've never suffered from any major issues with previous features updates, but with the April update I've hit numerous problems that have made using my PCs difficult or impossible. For example, my Surface Book 2 is suffering from constant lag when switching tabs or closing windows. It makes using the device almost impossible. I was originally also suffering from Bluetooth connection issues on my Surface Studio, but those issues have now been resolved.
