"Please do not power off your machine. Installing update 1 of 100."

I definitely prefer XP over 7. No automatic updates."

Automatic updates are not bad. Quite the opposite, it’s the lack of automatic patching that is dangerous.

Win10/11’s problem isn’t auto updates, it’s the severely reduced user agency in the matter (and the quality of said updates, but that’s another story).

    Auto updates are bad for a user's sense of control over their machine. Auto updates are generally good for security.
