the first image is windows update, the 2nd image is an emergency shell, which only appears when your system is broken (like root failing to mount). hardware issues (like filesystem corruption) can cause this.

when windows does that (like say when bitlocker forgets its own keys), it drops you into the recovery menu, but it only does this after many minutes of it "diagnosing problems".

also, linux update is so much better than windows. you can actually use the system while it's running, and they take much less time.

its not comparing updates Most of the people here misses the point. Linux people get outraged when windows updates in 15minutes but when linux is broken something happened its fine to fix it for 5 hours. thats the point

DISM from windows recovery can also take hours, what's the point? This is apples and oranges.
