    Devils advocate time: Windows does this because users are stupid and will never update their PCs if they don’t have to. I’ve met too many people who never update their tech. Operating systems and the software they run is far too complex to be 100% secure so we mitigate that by updates. They are a necessity. The vulnerability responsible for EternalBlue was patched and pushed with a windows update before the ransomware attack, how many users ignored it? Windows is so annoying with its updates because it has to be.

      I know I’m not awake because I read your first line as “Devils advocate time”, as in "Devils argue in support of time itself. "

      I’ll have to discuss this with the time-being.

      if you always shut it down, when it has an update it’ll force you to update and shut down. but people don’t like shutting down their pcs for some reason so yeah ur right
