Not on my own computers, that is: for very occasionally I did need to help out some people whose system had been infected by something nasty. In the past 25 years I”ve never had trouble with any kind of malware or data theft. means that in daily life, the absence of the newest system updates has never bothered me in any way.
Being just a little bit sensible, combined with running an up-to-date antivirus service, careful cloud encryption etc. Once I got all my privacy and other system settings right, there is no time wasted with system-level maintenance anymore: and rarely ever a problem, or it must be one caused by some incompatible new app installation.ĭangerous you say? By far the most dangerous factor is of course dumb or high-risk online behavior by the users themselves. So for the system no feature updates, no security updates, no updates at all (yes I do sometimes update a few of my apps though). Why keep tinkering with something that works well enough? Every time when (once in a while) I get a new one, my routine is like this: I first use the system for a few weeks to check if everything works OK (no bad drivers etc.), then I do update what needs to be updated (which is rarely anything) and from then on, I keep Windows Update (and related services) permanently disabled. I wonder how much time some of the people here are routinely wasting their time coping with buggy Windows updates ever so often, re-adjusting their Windows systems settings twice a year after yet another “major” update, and so on.Īt the moment I have three Windows PC.laptops of various ages, the oldest some 6 years old. You test your updates or you just fire who was in charge to do it. It is debatable whether or not there is still a need for a third-party antivirus, but … It is Microsoft’s job or not to provide a issue-free OS that does not interfere with programs used by millions of users. “….antivirus products could also play a role.”
Every time I read ‘Windows 7’ it comes to cry for the good times spent in peace. In the coming days I will decide, for sure there is a risk that if I choose the first USB the PC may fly from the window if I still see a blue screen. – the second with Linux Mint and LTSC 2021 – the first with a new installation of Windows 10 Pro I got tired, now I have two fresh USB sticks: Sometimes in both cases, often with just one.
For the record, everything works more than fine (programs, various tests, Windows itself) except when I make Office or Windows updates (both with the license). I have tried everything within my limits. I would also like to have this problem, but after 2-3 months of serenity the generic BSODs returned so I didn’t install the latest update.
