Seems to really hate some Sandy Bridge/Ivy Bridge machines, I use a 
Fujitsu Lifebook which has some nice features like a VGA output (for 
connecting to older projectors) and easily-replaceable battery and the 
update took it down real good

My strategy with MS is to image the machine (the OS drive) before
every update.  Then, I can get back to the prior state without
relying on MS knowing how to undo it's f*ckups.

But, I manually apply updates so I know when the risky exists.

Also, most machines are airgapped so there's very little reason for me
to apply an update; they alomst always fix security vulnerabilities
while "bugs" seem to be overlooked, forever.

That is possibly the difference.  I keep mine continually updated, so 
"cummulative updates" are not as large for my machine.  I also DL and 
install large updates to the OS.

  Mine is:  Windows 10 Pro for Workstations  Version 22H2
 OS Build:  19045.2364

  Under a:  Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1505M v6 @ 3.00GHz

  Which they (MicroSoft) fucked me on a Windows 11 upgrade.

  Of all the CPUs being supported, one would think that workstation 
Xeons would be included.

  It is like Windows NT was...  pure customer abandonment.
