I update Linux maybe once a year. Sure, there are security vulnerabilities. But I'm behind a firewall. And meanwhile, I don't have to spend any time dealing with update issues.

But Windows is made for the big masses. It's definitely a good thing that Microsoft forces Auto-Updates, because otherwise 95% of people would run around with devices that have gaping security holes. And 90% of these people are not being a firewall 100% of their time.
Side effect unfortunately is that they are shoving ad- and bloatware down your throat through these updates.
But that is, because Microsoft does not care about the end user at all. It's not the fault of auto-updates.
