No they aren’t.

Feature updates take the same amount of time as monthly updates. It’s been like this for years.

    Recently spent almost four hours waiting for Windows Update on a brand-new PC. It wasn’t even apparent how long it would take, just kept grinding, rebooting, and grinding again.

    For a three-decade OS that many bright programmers have worked on, Windows update sucks royally.
