I disabled all Windows updates last October because 24H2 absolutely tanked performance of games. Various reports around the internet claim that its still a problem. So no more updates for me, of any kind.

I once wrote a blog post called “Never update anything” about how updates suck, but even so I would just deal with it, because you probably want the security fixes.

More than them, they should adore companies whose updates come with unwanted features and fresh new bugs that lead to this behavior. I have never been afraid of Debian stable / Fedora updates but I am always weary of Windows and Android updates.

Tell that to my windows 7 unpatched for about 20 years now. Those botnets are collecting devices with default passwords.

Na, someone probably already p0wn3d your box and is installing updates in the background so they don't lose control of it.

That's not "your" windows 7 but a community computer used to host cp

Never got a virus. But everyone installing updates got malware after malware. Don't let the faangs scare you into giving your freedoms away.
