“No automatic updates for me. “

I hear you, just like everything from Win98 forward the updates either break something in your applications or at minimum each one slows down the pc until it takes longer to load than it took me to get through puberty.

It happened with XP on 3 of my PCs eventually taking 5 minutes before you could do anything (mainly from BING (the worse turd in the Windows pile of crap)).

My Win 7 machine was fantastic until the updates eventually began to slow up boot and I am tired of the PC behaving differently every time I boot it after an update.

My Win 8 machine has Classic Shell but subsequent Win 8 updates now prevent it from defaulting to the normal desktop at boot. I now have to click on the metro desktop tile crap.

And what is with multiple thousands of Registry updates. The registry sucks as is without so many entries happening in seconds.

I had AOL and the insisted on updating before I could use their access. After the update my printer or something would not work.
