I mean at this point I think it's really just utter incompetence over at Microsoft to design a system that can be updated without breaking it. They have never actually cared about solving that problem.
If they had taste, someone opinionated over there would knock heads before shipping another version of windows that requires restarts or mutates user settings.
A joke in the Windows 95 days was "You plugged in a mouse. Please restart your computer.". A few weeks ago I plugged in a Logitech wireless mouse receiver, Windows 10 installed the drivers automatically, and finished with "To complete the installation of the software, please restart your computer"...
It's already absurd that a mouse should need a vendor/model-specific driver in 2025. It's just a standard USB Human Interface Device ffs.
