I do not necessarily view this as a bad thing. The ‘doze “Automatic Updates” were so buggy that they sometimes would BSOD the machine and I began disabling them long ago because of that.

Now, I simply no longer allow any machine running ‘doze internet access so as to eliminate the problem. Since I for the most part run linux I no longer have to worry about such things although I still have clients that do.

If I see a need for an update, I will first copy the machine before allowing any update, then if any problems arise I will restore it and wait for a later and possibly more stable update to become available.

Best way to go, I believe.

Cheers. :)

We think much alike. But I suspect we are in the vast minority among those who run Windows.

My dislike of Samsung here is the sneaky nature of their disabling. It smacks too much of the old browser and A/V wars, where software manufacturers would disable each other's installations and take over system defaults.

At the very least, Samsung should have made it clear what they were doing.
