So many changes on an ever expanding OS, over so many platforms, on so many different devices from so many different manufacturers..., it's almost expected

I've never encountered issues regarding updates even though I have my personal and work machines set to auto update. All my machines updated fine last Tuesday when there were lots of stories of others having problems.

Same here, I have never had an update problem in all my years of Windows use. I tend to be a person to just let Windows do its install and not tinker much. Who am I to second guess the guys that wrote the install?

Unfortunately, like so many others, I can not claim to not have encountered problems with WUs. I have been "bitten" by the latest round and was only able to work around it by reinstalling from two-week old backup. This failing updates week after week is getting very frustrating.
