Yet the article was written as if the update was a total failure. More like click bait than actual substance

Honestly, I haven't read the whole article, but the one I have referred to and written by "The Redmond Cloud" was read entirely. Some writers might have exaggerated the facts, but who am I to judge. The fact remains that this update has caused some havoc for a certain number of users. And I don't think all the writers are playing "Click bait" and even less so for the users reporting these bugs.

I agree, not all writers are declaring Armageddon. A small percentage are simply doing what they always do, ratchet it up to get "Blog Points", which translate into ad revenue. That part of the world will survive COVID.

Agreed!

Would it matter if the vast majority didn't have issues? The article is sort of like going to a hospital and declaring the world is sick because the patients in the hospital are sick.

NO -- it's NOT.

It's like saying SOME of the people that go into hospital die there. And that is TRUE -- some do.

Most do NOT.

But if you're one of the few, that either die in hospital, or (maybe worse!) have your PC trashed by this update -- it does not matter to you if most other people are not affected. It only matters to you that YOUR PC got trashed -- and MS is either unwilling or unable to fix it for you.

Besides -- Journalists don't get paid for writing articles about millions of people NOT being affected by something; they get paid for writing articles about the handful that ARE affected.
