Nope. Just C++ and a handful of others.

I don't have the full package and got almost 3 Gb in the last 2017 update I did, I don't want to imagine what a fully installed VS2019 would get

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

also include making the system work again after they break it, or is that for a upcoming session?

the size of the updates don't bother me at all. its the stability and accuracy of the updates that bother me as they have become more inconsistent with every build release.

this is because their updates are shite. constantly fixing, no end in site.

if you installed everything or almost everything during your initial VS install then your updates sizes will be greater.
My update sizes are not too bad because I only installed what I needed, not what I wanted.

Back with 2017, I regularly let it update the full set of files so I'd have a folder containing anything and everything I might want to install, ready to go and already up to date.
The entire folder weighted in at 40+ GB. It would regularly pull down 30+ GB worth of updates at a time. With my 5mbps connection, that was a full day's worth of downloads, so I reserved those for weekends.
I've stopped doing that and nowadays only let VS update what it thinks I need based on what I have installed.

Just got a notice for updating the BIOS on my laptop - it's a 17.5MB install. I'm hoping most of that is just the setup folderol?

Nope, that's really it. I have read that the latest processors need 32MB so some old motherboards with 16MB of memory can't be used with them.

Unreal - I was expecting some minigames or something, but I guess because all the BIOS are getting almost GUI-fied these days.

American Megatrends BIOS had a GUI and PS/2 mouse support back in 1996, when a 8 MB RAM PC was still common.
Consider that a car ECU with limited functionalities and a single communication system requires about 2-3 MB of optimized binary and it does not have to support multiple client OS in thousands of possible hardware configurations.

Mercifully, it survived. 'swhy I keep suffering with Dell - at least I know people test their installers on it.
OK, this Dell isn't bad. I just miss my Carbon.

Yes, my favorite make is Dell as well. I have never regretted buying Dell. And I used to buy not only for my family, but for the company where I worked before I retired as well. Not a single failure after a dozen or more purchases over 20 years.

I have a Dell laptop that gets BIOS updates maybe every few months. It'll be 4 years old soon, and it took the first BIOS update a while to show up. But now they appear regularly, and no problem so far.

Agree. Just shut down a 10 year old server that had been running 24/7. Replaced one hard drive that was still covered under warranty (shipped us a new one overnight). Another one is 5 years old and also running 24/7 with 3 VM's, one a DC. I think we had one desktop fail with bad motherboard, old enough they didn't stock that m'board anymore (over 5 years old).
I am on my 4th Precision workstation going way back.
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

They heard you like operating systems, so they put an operating system under your operating system.
