Nor have I, no MS Win 7 patches downlaod in over two and a half years, and no issues at all. The Nvidia graphics card, sure, MS, never.
With Windows 7, I could check for updates when on wifi and download them “free”. With 10, I’ve had a couple of days when 600 megs downloaded while I was tethered to my phone — that’s several days worth of my typical usage.
Win 7 BUMP. Have Win updates completely turned off. No problems.
