Super anecdotal, but I've seen a few instances of those in my time as sysadmin.

Whether it was just failed or malfunctioning updates, I can't tell, but I've had to deal with Windows not starting correctly after automatic updates multiple times.

Then there was the whole bricked HP laptop story recently, where automatic updates just randomly killed a lot of systems. We have multiple HP laptops in the company, though none were affected, but I can't say I wasn't sweating a little bit those days.
