Do you allow Windows to automatically install updates?

Answer by  tedkendall (70)

It is wise to allow Windows to automatically install updates, as this is the number one way to prevent against system vulnerabilities which could be exploited either by DOS or DDOS attacks. Hackers often target machines running older versions of Windows, because they are generally more prone to weaknesses.

For most people it mkes sense to allow Windows to automatically install updates. This will allow your computer to have the latest security fixes and code fixes for your computer.
