The green check mark implies your system is secure and stable with its current updates, even when it indicates you're not up to date, usually means that your system is secure and functioning properly with the updates it currently has.

The yellow text indicates there are important updates available, but they might not be critical for immediate system security and stability.

No gore. Working as intended.

This is windows - it had coherent UX guides back in 95 but that bathwater was tossed out loooong ago!

No, it is talking about drivers.

Windows is up to date, but it did find drivers to automatically update.

That doesn't make the UX any better.

How is one supposed to know that? I wouldn't have guessed that

The top of the needed update is actually in the picture. Scroll down a little and there's a "Download & Install" you need to click.

You would know, if the picture wasn't cut off.

You can explain it away, but it's not intuitive and is just bad design. Also, heaven forbid they just explain what things mean using words! But that's a different rant about form over function in current over-simplified UI's these days! Kind of like the useless "Oops! Something went wrong!" messages with no details or additional info...

Ever hear of the snipping tool? Guess not

Whether it's a user interface that defies all logic, a crash that leaves you in disbelief, silly bugs or glitches that make you go crazy, or an error message that feels like it was written by an unpaid intern, this is the place to see them all!
