@arstechnica will it also get better at not replacing the working drivers with outdated buggy drivers

@arstechnica

Can't wait until it gets better at recovering from buggy, AI fuelled crashy updates, too.

@arstechnica FWIW, "Windows Update" has not had any influence on how my PC deals with "buggy drivers" since 1997. I think the press needs to back away from alienating generalizations. We're not all Windows users, we're not all Christians, and we're not all "proud to be Americans."
