Updates can suck, but to be honest I haven't had much issue with them. It's a lot like iOS now..where it will download it but you can wait on the install/reboot till the end of the day if you want.

i don't have set times i use the machine, and it prompts me about updates in the middle of GTA V sometimes!

That would suck, I haven't been in that situation. I'm usually working and if a update alert comes up I can just ignore it and keep at it.

Quick tip on the reinstalling everything front. Use chocolatey. I've have one script setup that installs all of my applications in Windows on a fresh build. Only pre-requisite is installing chocolatey which doesn't take any time at all.

I just discovered chocolatey recently, used it to install git... I need to get used to using it more.
