These updates bring in performance enhancements, improve security, and in some instances, also bring in a few goodies and UI overhauls. However, these user interface tweaks might not be in sync with everyone’s requirements. Likewise, in some cases, the update might also cause an issue or two with third-party apps and drivers (such as HP Printer’s incompatibility issues with Chrome OS 97.0.4692.91). So in all these cases, one approach will be to wait till the developer releases a patch or roll back the changes.
However, this could sometimes prove to be quite a long wait and hence could end up conflicting with your workflow.
