Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades as the old saying goes. How does this apply to computers? There is no such thing as close. While it may be said about many disciplines that: “It is not an exact science” this doesn’t apply to software.
Every programmer knows that if you spend 20 hours writing code, you might spend another 20 (or more) troubleshooting. And yet we have all experienced software that was rolled out too early and was buggy-er than a hound dog with fleas.
Now you would think, that the big boys like Microsoft and Apple and Adobe and Google would never prematurely release software that isn’t quite baked. In fact the giants are the worse offenders.
It’s one thing when your “recipe” app has a hiccough, it’s another thing entirely when your operating system has indigestion. It is almost as if they are releasing software and waiting for the user base to point out flaws.
Many operating systems are setup by default to accept “automatic updates” You might want to consider changing this setting and waiting for the update to bake just a little before you leap.
Turn off Automatic Updates for Windows 10
Turn off Automatic Updates for Mac
Personally, I wait for a month or more before I accept an operating system update. Keep your eye on the interwebs for information on the update. As soon as the complaints die down, you’re probably safe.
