Glad to know it's doomed from the start with Sprint as the carrier.

It's an entry-level phone going to a crap carrier.

"measure 5 x 2.6 x 0.39 inches, making the device super thin and super slim"
0.39 inches means ~10mm, so is thick.

I'd imagine that, when actually gripping the phone, with a bezel so small it'd be difficult to avoid actually touching the screen with the fingers that are simply holding the phone.

Looks to me like this article joins others in the general computer press telling people to go through the elaborate mitigation steps for *Known Issue #3* -- which appears from the MS page on the issue to be ONLY for those with lockups/BSOD/boot-loop issues.

Look at the mitigation steps for the less severe issues under Known Issue #2 -- they involve ONLY using the standard update uninstall commands and can be done in a minute or two.

Is this yet another case of sloppy tech writers cueing off each others' misunderstanding and/or bad writing and putting unsuspecting, gullible users who *don't* have lockup/boot-loop issues through an elaborate -- and somewhat risky -- set of mitigations for MS doesn't even suggest for their issues?

Looks like it.
