    Another perspective: do you trust the average consumer to ever update WinRAR or 7zip? If it’s baked into Windows, at least Microsoft can patch any exploits that are discovered.

      I turst application’s auto-update more than users complying with windows updates. They tend to disable windows updates because “they are anoying, long and supposed to add more bloat and bugs and I never reboot my PC”.

        Do users actually have a choice to ignore updates again? When I last touched Windows, it would forcibly install minor updates without giving much control to disable it other than setting a time range where it wasn’t allowed to force a reboot.
