Was not. Sounds exactly like an underlying hardware defect. Corrupt update file? Not very likely when it is signed with a 2048bit key which is for all intends and purposes uncrackable by brute force.

My wife's Windows 10 laptop BSODs over and over, every single time it updates. My wife has tried to turn off automatic updates. Whenever the Update dialogue comes up she tells it, "no" — but at some point Microsoft basically says "to hell with you, we're going update anyhow." And then I have to fix the computer ... again because it will BSOD, again. Every single time. So, in the world of never blaming the corporate wonks, I guess this is my wife's fault, eh?

No, same problem. Underlying hardware defect or incompatibility. You cannot blame Microsoft for forcing you to update when you accepted such a behavior by running Windows. If you want full control over your software, then your only choice is running free software on free hardware.
