Windows 10: Feature update 2004

Why does Microsoft not bother to test their updates before releasing them?

If they did there would be fewer problems such as 'Downloading 100%' not progressing.

I used to be a programmer before retiring and I would have been sacked, or certainly demoted, if any of my software was released be fore being thoroughly tested.
