I've never been a fan of the windows updates, but I'm probably a bit more
conservative than most here. But at least with Windows 7, you have a
choice, unlike Windows 10 - (except I think someone has come up with a patch
to prevent those updates, but I don't know, since I've never used Windows
10).

I generally like to poke the broken bit with a stick
first, to see why it broke.

But not everyone can afford such time luxuries.

I eventually reach the point where I have to "punt"
too, but it might take a few days for me to reach
that conclusion.
