35 updates....

[Habitatual]

Blessing in disguise, don't bother with windows updates,
if one of them has a problem it will take days to find out
which one and probably a format and reinstall to fix what
is left.

Don't bother

That is irresponsible advice to advise people to "don't bother with
windows updates" that can impact the security of their system.
You referred to "many many cliants".
I hope they realize the disservice you do them because you are unable
to solve their problems except by "format and reinstall"

There are updates that have issues and there may be reasons to delay
installation.
However your blanket statement "don't bother with windows updates" is
very hazardous to their computers.
You should refer them to someone with knowledge of Windows and
computers.
