There is a lot of talk on this forum about delaying/deferring/turning off Windows updates and this current worm is a good example why you should patch as soon as possible. Not doing so may leave you vulnerable and you may not know it until it's too late.
But Microsoft's heavy-handed attitude towrard forced updates in Win10 is turning a lot of people off which is unfortunate.
