There have been two distinct Windows updates in recent memory that have broken things.

  1. The one that stopped network printers from working, and you had to change a specific GPO setting which was not available in Intune at the time, meaning I had to do it manually on each computer.

  2. The one that removed all shortcuts to Office 365 apps from the desktop and start menu, necessitating a repair... manually on each affected machine.

So it does happen on occasion. It's not as bad as in the XP days, but it still can be a little sketchy at times

I had an update completely and permanently bricked my webcam, and another that fucked up my audio (but that eventually got fixed months later).

Oh yes, I remember the audio one, too!

Odd, i didn’t need to address either of these.

I would have scripted it for Intune.

This was before proactive remediations were a thing. Script probably would've worked, although I find them a bit vague as to how they work

Intune was def missing a lot of features early on.
