There are a lot of "risk adverse" folks (many on this forum) that believe that one must use only the newest supported OS, install every single update, newest drivers, etc prevent the one in ten billion chance of a security flaw wreaking havoc on ones PC or network.
Security patches while they patch a specific known flaw, often end up creating new flaws or breaking functionality of the OS or software.
This is a risky proposition for anyone. One should not delay installing critical security patches for OS, browsers, or software. Keeping multiple software/OS un-patched increases risk of a breach by 3X.
Case in point, over 67% who got the WannaCry ransomware were not infected by social engineering, but by exploiting un-patched Windows 7 systems. WannaCry used a critical OS vulnerability to provide a gateway into user systems allowing admin privileges. Bypassing security software to run the malware. Fair to say, the last thing one wants to see their hard drives encrypted, with a screen demanding money or files deleted, just by procrastinating installing security patches.
This is taken so seriously, that U.S. Gov networks don't permit un-supported OS/software running by policy.
