Actually when most are wrong these days your machine ends up becoming someone else's BOT and we all pay the price.
Quit pretending you know what's best and take the updates.
There are some of us that do know what's best for our systems. Computers have been a hobby of mine for the last 20 years.
Nothing automatically updates on my 2 computers. Not Microsoft or any other software. I'm not saying that I don't do updates but I do research them to see if I need them. There have been a lot of updates from MS I don't need nor were they for any type of security purpose. I find that when other software wants to update it's for a feature that I have no interest in or need. I've heard of to many systems that were bricked by MS updates.
I'm pretty unhappy with the way MS went about attempting to install updates to my system for the sole purpose of gathering information in preparation to Windows 10. It's my Internet connection that I pay data rates for not MS. In my opinion they tried to install spyware and ad ware. If I wanted 10 then OK fine but they should have informed people as to exactly what was going on and made it an optional but they didn't. I think it was pretty sneaky. Nothing is free there is always a price to pay sooner or later.
I will not be going to Windows 10 nothing there worth the 8 GB or so downloads to update both machines.
Besides if I updated both systems, one each month, I wouldn't be able to use the Internet for 2 months under my data cap. When Windows 7 reaches the EOL in 2020 I'll decide what to do then,. Hopefully there will be a new alternative to Windows.
