These updates take a really long time and usually occur when you want to shut down or start up your Windows.

They usually do you no good but benefit Microsoft greatly.

Absoloute Hogwash.

You obviously have never used it. Windows Backup IS NOT and image backup tool!

I use the windows backup and once you have done one you may get a nag say once a month at most.

I choose to only backup key elements e.g. credentials, desktop settings not user folders and it takes a minute or two at the most.

The beauty is I do a clean install, it sets up device just how I like it with no input from me.

Just click on Backup, it takes several seconds and it will shut up for about 30 days.
It will backup wallpaper and some installed apps for a clean install and that is it.
