| 1427244 | 2016-10-11 19:26:00 | I've let windows auto update on every machine I've owned since it was an option, it's never caused more than the very occasional inconvenience. I prefer it that way, doesn't mean I "deserve" anything. If you prefer to choose what updates you receive and when, more power to you. I can't be bothered with that. If you happen to fall prey to some security vulnerability because you didn't update (unlikely really) that'd be unfortunate but I wouldn't tell you you deserved it, making a personal choice doesn't make anyone deserve anything bad happening to them. |

Still amused by the fury of Win 10K Bug users as they get thwarted yet again by the updates they cant avoid, it must be the greatest money spinner around for pc techs. Cant speak for other businesses or Techs, But the majority of work is still with W7 PC's. There are a few W10's but these relate to infections or in some cases pirated software suddenly stop working. ( see 1st point W10 below as well) With W10, it can be sorted into various areas. *The PC's that give the most problems are ones that have been upgraded from a previous OS, and most are from W7. What happens is the original systems have faults and those faults are carried over, and LOTS were having problems before hand. * The W10's that have had fresh installs , ---- So far only seen 1 that a update caused a problem, and even then it wasn't windows fault, it was the owner, when a update was installing he couldn't wait, and powered off the Machine corrupting the OS. When I was at his place he said the activity lights were flashing ( meaning its doing something) but he didn't want to wait. * So far this morning, updated 6 Computers with the latest cumulative update, no problems at all. |

Winupdate issues arnt that common (in the real world as a %) , they are widely publicized though and the few users that do have issues make alot of noise about it . But, on the other hand, plenty of never updated Win PC's never had real issues with malware virus infections , and plenty of fully updated PC's get hit with serious malware infections Un-updated PC's arnt the threat to humanity that some will claim :) |

| 1427247 | 2016-10-12 08:46:00 | I have seen more users infested and afflicted by updates from MS than by viruses from the entire rest of the world. Windoze genuine advantage anyone? | R2x1 (4628) | ||
| 1427248 | 2016-10-12 08:51:00 | The only gripe is really those like me stuck with a slow Bb connection so while updating the internet is unusable for anything else | gary67 (56) | ||
