One thing our corrupt govt. can't take away from us is our beliefs.
So, till you've worked as a Computer tech for 40+ years, and have seen the damage that MS Updates can do, your beliefs won't match reality.
I won't even accept my OS from Microsoft. I get my Windows ISO after it's been totally debugged by qualified programmers.
And, then pre-conditioned by Rufus, as it's burned to a Flash Drive.
And, I ditched MS Office years ago, in favor of a much less invasive Open Office.
My own thought is that any program or OS that requires constant updates, wasn't very well written in the first place. Too many loopholes and back doors.
I suppose I could be wrong, but, "It works for me!"
My own install of Windows 11/Pro/64 just works great, with none of the problems I see recounted on these internet forums. And, most of them follow an MS Update. Go figure!
Someone asked the question, "what are your favorite programs" and I have to reply "StopUpdates10.exe"
Y'all have a great day now, Y'hear?
