This morning, I clicked ‘Install Update’ like they told me to. Why not?

Just to be clear - this screen is fine. What really, really infuriated me was this:

I didn’t understand. I couldn’t click or ESC or Enter past this screen. What was I supposed to do?
Then it changed. Why did it change? Why couldn’t I interact. What was going on?

Showing me a loading screen - fine. What the hell were these screens for?

Take your time if you need to install updates, but be honest and say it. What infuriates consumers is lying to them.
