TBH that's probably for the best of the average home user. Unpatched windows boxes are the botnet haven. I have my Win10 boxes set to fast updates and they're working like a charm. Better that than an infected box.
It really is a bad thing, as they are not just forcing security updates, but also feature updates. They have had a lot of problems maintaining application compatibility with those updates along with other issues which cause most people to wait until they are settled before adopting them.
That is what we do here.
Microsoft has been updating things, without our knowledge for years, but it has only impacted a narrow scope of items in the operating system. To do it on a wholesale basis though. They have proven to have a system updater which will not recover from a bad update, on its own.
No thank you.
It would be friendlier and less intrusive to force us to notice there are updates available and what they are for. If a user wants to let their computer become infested with garbage, then let them. It is not like those users are going to do what it takes to protect their computer anyway.
If this was about security, then Microsoft should alter the default security settings for the operating system. That would stop most garbage right out of the box.
