It's a BAD idea to disable the official code updates from the Windows Update web site. Most of those updates are designed specifically to handle security issues.

And the rest generally fix bugs and improve stability.

You would not believe how many people contact me complaining that their Windows machine is unstable, but when I ask when was the last time they ran Windows Updates, they say, "Oh I stopped allowing those Updates, they annoy me so I turned them off".

Fools. Just sayin'...

Windows updates have caused other software to break, including other Microsoft software. The updates are often not tested enough, like everything else Microsoft. The transformation into an Indian software company full of cheap third worlders didn't help.
