You miss the point. N00bs who are almost afraid to turn a computer on let alone get freaked out about updates are not even going to try any Linux disto unless it's already on a computer they buy.
Windows 10 is causing me much stress and anxiety

So here is the problem with skipping updates. Nearly every update has some security fix, and not having that means that your system is more vulnerable.
I've given up on Windows as a productivity platform.
I use Macintosh computers. Sure it takes a bit to learn it. Yes, you can end up having some software that you can't use on it.
But the bottom line is, I have never had a major problem with my Mac.
I leave my Macintosh computer on 24/7 for years at a time. The longest one, was 10 full years, non-stop minus rare power outage.
The last time I updates my Macintosh, was so easy, it was like bliss. I plugged in the new Mac, next to my old Mac. The new Mac, found the old Mac on the network, and asked if I wanted to transfer everything over.
I clicked do it, and it just sucked everything from the old system to the new system, and it was like magic. I was up and running on the new system in minutes.
Never had a crash. Never had a blue screen.
Now you still need to be wise. I have a 1 TB USB drive connected to my mac, and I still backup everything. But thus far, since 1999 till today, I have never once needed that backup. Never lost my files. Never lost my tax documents, or my reports, or any videos I was editing.
Never. I'm sure it will happen. No computer is perfect, and no matter what you do, something will break at some point in your life.
But for me.. I'll always stick with an Apple Mac computer, over Windows. I'll be using a Mac until either Apple computer goes bankrupt, or I die of old age.
Windows is for things that don't matter. Things that if the computer blows up, or refuses to boot, or crashes in the middle of working.... I just format the hard drive, and reinstall windows.
Things that don't matter. That's all I ever use on Windows.

MX19 Linux is a good, fullly equipped simple option for a newb installer too. Great stuff.
Theres 1000 videos on YT how to dual boot XYZXC Linux with windoze 10. If they're too damn stupid to watch a short vid and take a few notes ? Fuck'em. They deserve Windows. Thats why 90% plus people in the US run the crap. Or their company is run by morons and FORCES them to run it. I Wiped Win 98 when their "cure" arrived with the new, Super, Greatest 98 Second edition. That was the end of me and Billy.
Welp, most computer users are too damn stupid about computers in general and unfortunately that's just the fact of it. Plus people who aren't ready for a change won't change unless they absolutely have to, most are willing to live with what they have because it's "familiar"......... We start talking ISOs, BIOs, Linux, Bash, Sudo, etc and their eyes glaze over, I learned that a long time ago. I'm more than willing to help some, direct them to the videos and how tos only if they want me to otherwise I try to help them with what they have. It's their preference, not yours or mine that matter.

When people get the blue screen of death it can be because they didn't wait for the full update to install, or they had errors and didn't fix them before updating, or it's dusty dirty memory Ram or not fully inserted properly Ram, sometimes it's the motherboard or connection to the motherboard, and in the case of HP computers(the gaming ones), some cases are designed poorly for air flow and overheat easy causing the blue screen issue.
Any issue with the updates would have been fixed by now, so later updates would address issues with prior updates.
When in doubt, contact them with your questions and concerns or a tech forum dedicated to your operating system.

Then either learn to install and use Linux, buy a Google machine, fork out lots of money for an over-hyped, over-priced Apple Mac or learn to live with Windows........ Pretty much those are your choices..........
Guess you missed the part where Microsoft released an out of schedule update fixing those errors......., a month ago....... I'm starting to wonder if you're that stupid or just trolling..........Windows 10 printer mystery: More complain June Patch Tuesday is causing havoc | ZDNet
