It’s actually worse! Last jan Microsoft bricked the entire fleet of laptops in my company with a borked generic driver update.

So… no - it’s not great at all with automatic driver installation in windows …

How on earth can people stand using Windows full time? Everything I’m on a Microsoft product I feel claustrophobic!
