Yeah, well.. M$ update was made by idiots. Its always "security" 
patches, never real bug fixes, and when they, on rare occasion, send out 
an "optional update", like for a hardware driver, they invariably 
include, say, the update for your USB hub, but not for the USB itself, 
causing an incompatibility, which renders the whole hub non-functional. 
They managed to do the same thing with my motherboard's network 
connection one time - thankfully I was able to slog through all the 
bloody control panel shit to roll back the update.

I don't mind update systems that actually F-ing work, and where I have 
the option to only install, like with my video drivers, the ones that 
function properly, instead of stuff that will break when I try to use 
them. :p
