I entirely agree.
MS should concentrate on fixing bugs, not trying to introduce new features, and introducing bugs instead. New features should, in general, be reserves for new versions of Windows. That way, people can choose when, where, and if they wish to upgrade, and not have mandatory upgrades upgrading themselves, bugs and all.

I believe that stability, not features, is the key to producing a good Operating System.

From where I sit, there was no benefit in the upgrade from Win10 10240 to 10586, but it did introduce the network discovery bug, which now, 3 months later, is just getting fixed.
Like you say, Upgrade Russian Roulette.

If you think about it, the perfect OS would never need an update or upgrade! Maybe that's what MS should be aiming for, not something that changes every few weeks or months.

I agree with you. But MS has been able to provide buggy OSs and still convince people that the way they're updating them, is part of the "getting better" race, when the reality is that they're just fixing bugs since they released an not 100% ready version. That's the magic.

Also I should say that, overall, I'm really happy with W10. But yeah, we (users) are on a always-beta-testing run for almost every app, program and OS on the market.

no! can't get it to load , says it can't load undoing everything!?

I have the "these results may be incomplete" search bug after this update. I made a new user and it is unable to search properly.

Losing faith in Windows with stuff like this. Time to do yet another fresh install...

I was able to get around this issue by turning off the Windows Update service and uninstalling the KB3140743 update. Then I recreated the account profiles and logged in. Once done I re-enabled the Windows Update service.

Note my issue was only with new accounts. Any existing accounts seemed to work fine.
