This doesn't even mention keeping the games themselves updated as well. And any of these updates makes the PC basically useless for gaming while they're being done. |
1) Buy an SSD. 5 minute boot times aren't a thing with a fast nvme drive, my PC boots faster than the Xbox Series X and Playstation 5. It's not 2007 anymore.
2) You do not need to reboot after updating drivers, you need to reboot for the new features/performance to take effect.
3) You can defer windows and driver updates to a later date that is more convenient.

You can also update games in the background on Windows while playing another game... In-fact that has been a PC feature for the last 30 damn years... So this point is a little hypocritical and weird.
