      Not if it’s for legal compliance.

      Oh, sorry. I meant to say “Haha, Windows sucks! Am I right guys? Updoots to the left!”

        And Microsoft is known throughout the world as an honest company that follows the laws, complies with regulations and keeps it’s word.

          I would say they are known for skirting the edge of the law, sometimes getting in trouble but usually not, or at least nothing serious. They don’t outright break it, and the software re-installing might not break it. Whatever happens, you can bet they’ll do the most anti-consumer thing they may be allowed to get away with.

      This is why I keep updates disabled.

      “Oh no, you’ll be at risk!” phhbt. Nonsense.

      I’ve had zero issues from not being updated, but plenty from updates breaking stuff.

      Even LTSC only gets updates 2x a year, so apparently even MS agrees.
