Microsoft became absolute garbage when they began to blur the line between desktop OS and the idiotic tablet market.
This is the problem and I was about to mention it further up here… But I’ve been doing this since the times of XP > Vista, all the way through computers with 7 and 8.1, and I’m pretty sure that over the years this no-system-updates policy has saved me a lot of time and trouble, while I never even once got a virus problem or safety breach. Some people will say this may be not quite safe. For myself I much prefer this continuity of a never-changing system well-adapted to my own needs, over the returning hassles of major, disruptive, and usually unnecessary system updates once or twice a year. 1803 from over four years ago, and as long as I keep using that laptop, it will never get a system update. So, for example, I have a laptop still running Windows 10 v. For the entire lifespan of the computer, the system itself is not updated anymore (of course I do sometimes functional updates for specific non-Microsoft software, or antivirus updates). And at the same time, right from the beginning, I do block Windows Update completely. I also make sure all drivers are OK, install my own software, VPN etc. This is my own policy, with all three Windows computers I still use at the moment.Įvery time I buy a new Windows computer, I fine-tune the entire system to my own particular needs (using various tweaking tools such as Microsoft’s own GPedit). But they are not a given fact of nature: because of their workflow- and habits-disrupting effects, you can also choose to just avoid them completely. Cost: Yes you are right, Microsoft Windows system updates can be very disrupting and even counter-productive.
