For the third time in a few months I have done an update and it breaks my Windows. My apps stop, my task bar disappears and becomes unavailable. I have to use Task Manager to either sign out and back in, restart Windows Explorer or re-boot the laptop. Then another update comes out and fixes that. But the inconvenience of having to shut down in the middle of a remote meeting is embarrassing to say the leas.

Come on guys. You are better than this - you are Mozilla not Microsoft - don't adopt their bad practices and procedures.
