Fixing the Windows 10 Update Error

I’ve been using Windows 10 a lot lately. Personally I’m looking forward to Red Stone 4 and hope it ships soon.

Why Windows 10? Because Linux still doesn’t handle fractional scaling well, and Windows 10 does it best. The one with the best shot at supporting it is obviously GNOME Shell.
