I’ve got all updates completely turned off my Win7 machine. I’ve come to believe that all these updates are simply the company’s way of bloating up the computer and making it wear out faster. I haven’t updated my Win7 machine in four years and nothing’s happened. It works as well today as when it came out of the box. I’ve never had any problems except a bunch of blue screens until I figured out I needed to update a driver.
I think we’re being brainwashed that we need to download “updates.” Think about it logically. If your computer runs fine, what’s there to fix? Some security patch? Take a look at the fixes in their updates. Very little to do with security. Just sayin’.
i forgot to mention- rollbackRX may not work on SSD’s- I’m not sure- but it used to be that it owuldn’t- that might have changed now- hopefully
Bump to every word you wrote.
People say to me, “You’ve turned off updates?” Yes I have. Haven’t loaded update one to my Win 7 x64 machine. People say to me, “But, but aren’t you afraid of viruses and malware?” No, I’m not. I’ve got excellent anti-virus and anti-malware software and I’m very careful about where I go on the Internet. Emails I get from unknown sources or email I’m not expecting are deleted without opening.
It’s a joy to compute without M$FT getting in the way.
