Paused my updates for 2 weeks yesterday. MS needs to get their act together and stop treating PAYING CUSTOMERS as beta testers. I'm fucking sick of this "shareholder above everything else" attitude

While true but how do you test the vast amounts of available hardware support under windows?

I mean they could at least try instead of firing their QA staff and letting AI sort it out this is what happens when you do that.

Even better, make some in-house automation that runs on 100s bare metal configurations of variety of hardware commonly found like laptops, desktop boards, SSD, displays, etc. right on the MS floor.

Automation software exists to not just test updates, but also human day to day activities like surfing the web, opening and closing apps, rebooting, etc. MS already know how to collect exhaustive telemetry. This should be sufficient to catch hardware bugs within 'Preview' period of 15 days.
