My Approach to Windows Updates
Over the years dealing with updates for various Windows OS's, I have adopted the following approach. My question to the experts here is this approach still valid.
I learned from bitter experience that Windows updates can sometimes cause more trouble that what they are trying to fix. My approach is to turn off automatic updates and just receive the notifications. I read about each update and if it does not apply to my computer or I am not having the problem it addresses, I don't download and install it. Even for critical updates, I wait for the recommendations of experts on forums like this before I install them.
