A new release typically gets 4-5 patches before they call it done and move on to development of the next version.  2024 has been out for several months, it's not like all this happened in the past 23 days.  I have been using 2024 since release and it has run pretty well for me.

So you have only the original version of Windows on your computer and have never updated it once? Let me guess you're a perfect out of the box programmer who's speeds and feeds and code is always perfect? Improving things is always a good thing in my book, but I am the crazy person in the room so there is that.

If you look at the Update releases, generally Mastercam has been moving from a small number of large Updates, to spreading these out over a larger number of updates which can be delivered faster. This means that, among other things, we can sync up to things like file format changes for importers for different software like Solidworks/etc closer to when those other products release, rather than waiting months and months for the next Update to drop.
