   Only once. A 'Windows Next' patch slipped out from the Windows 12 branch.   
   It failed on Windows 11 of course. While you can defer automatic updates   
   for 18 hours you can't turn it off completely so every night it would try   
   again and fail.   
      
   Again, the machine is on the Insiders program so an update occurs about   
   once a week. The normal channel updates are a lot less frequent but still   
   take much longer than Linux.
