Windows 10 Cons review quotes

The frequent update of the Operating system is bad because, during each update, most of the programs or applications do not function well.
IY
Data Scientist at Instant systems Inc.
Jul 15, 2020
The only thing which concerns me is updates. It gets updated often. Sometimes, however, it automatically gets updated. That is an issue. It can happen when you do not want it to be done. It's possible it can start and your files are not saved. They may be open while your laptop enters sleep mode. Then, when you re-open the computer to continue work, it all of a sudden decides to update, destroying your work.

The solution should offer a bit of an easier integration with authentication methods, like FIDO or FIDO2 authentication with the USB-C. They should try to simplify the process of authenticating the user. Nobody wants to remember thousands of passwords.

Windows needs improvements made with respect to security because it is still vulnerable.

In terms of what could be improved, I would say the security patches. The security patches do not come very frequently with the operating systems.
