    No Windows doesn’t do atomic updates in the background, that’s why there is the whole installing updates screen on reboot or shutdown.

      Yes it does? As far as I’m aware even Linux can’t apply updates to an active system.

        You vastly misunderstand both what I am talking about, and how updates work on both Windows and Linux.

        You don’t press shut down and then get a blue updating screen that stops you from doing anything on Linux. Go and update a Linux system and you will see what I am talking about. You run it just like a normal command or program.

        Also yes they update the files on the drive while the system is running.
