Do you hate being forced to reboot your PC every time a new Windows update drops? If so, there's a welcome change in the works.

Microsoft Windows 11.

For the most part, I think Windows works quite well. My daily PC has been running with the same installation for about 18 months. I don't think I've ever had a system hang or a forced reboot. Unless we're talking about a forced reboot so Windows can update itself. I hate that.

There's a little bit of good news on that front, as Windows Central reports that Microsoft is testing a new Windows Update hot patching method that doesn't require a reboot. Oh, hell yes! I love it already.
