The different stages of solving problems with updates on all versions of Windows include checking for updates, running the Windows Update Troubleshooter, manually installing updates, checking internet connection, and pausing updates. The target users for these updates are Windows users who encounter issues with downloading, installing, or managing updates on their devices.

It's not that you're wrong. But the other person is slightly right. If you're behind a router, you'd have to have exposed services NAT'ed to your computer to be vulnerable. As you said, if I can see you, I can target you. But you're not really targetable (in the general sense) behind nat.

That assumes their device never leaves the house, and ignores a multitude of attacks that do not require inbound network connectivity such as drive-by attacks. I didn't show one in the video for the sake of brevity, but NAT offers no protection against them. Even where NAT is effective against a particular attack, on a home network most routers run UPnP which can be used to bypass NAT and attack the device directly. I've seen all of these used in the real world, so I can’t really agree they were even slightly right.

Linux makes Updates a lot more comfortable Compared to mac or windows if you don't use offline updates. Offline on the other hand male updates more stable but it will take a bit longer.

What are you on about? 😂 Linux has several desktop environments to choose from, and with the common ones you can choose where the task bar goes and if you want a start menu or not. All of the major web browsers from Windows like Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Opera, etc. can be installed on Linux. There are valid reasons to be critical of Linux but you've missed the mark here.

Point about installing updates PERFECTLY made. Being able to do so much with Kali within minutes and then keep the exploits going without the user even being aware is TERRIFYING. Thanks for (hopefully, provided they listen) keeping folks right on this stuff! I'm really glad Windows now ships with with firewall and other protections that folks have to go out of their way to disable/not update. Using Linux instead ... erm, tried Ubuntu 20.04 recently and it's OK, but I'm way more productive using Windows and so much more software runs on it. That last point is the key takeaway for me: it's way easy/convenient on Windows to install software (or click links which can result in software being installed), so do yourselves a favour folks, keep out of the way of the updates 😃

Not always. If you have a vulnerability and an attacker can make a connection to your computer, you're in trouble. The most common way this starts is from a website or attachment, but worms in particular will attempt to spread by attacking anything on their network (which could be home, work, school, public wifi, etc.). If it's a device permanently exposed to the internet like a server or a firewall then anyone can have a crack at it at any time.

What in the world is going to happen should Microsoft choose to stop providing updates for Windows 10 after October 14, 2025 and over half of the almost one billlion PC's in the world can't upgrade to Windows 11, because of the strict new TPM 2.0/CPU requirements? Hundreds of millions of people will be left with no Windows 10 updates, relying on antivirus, and don't want Windows 11. Microsoft will see this, but does not seem to care. Windows Updates and common sense behind your keyboard or mobile device, is the best way to stay protected.

It's going to be a mess. There are ways to upgrade unsupported machines, but if your only upgrade option requires a clean install (e.g. if you don't any version of TPM) then every annual update will also require a clean install. kzread.info/dash/bejne/hnp_2dxuoqexfrw.html

They are not "forcing every computer connected to the internet to upgrade". In fact, if your hardware doesn't meet their semi-arbitrary requirements they will try to block you from upgrading. I'm not defending Microsoft's approach to Windows 11 upgrades but 100% of what you've said here is wrong.

Because microsoft will brick your computer if you dont. Which makes their software the virus.

The reasons you give for users not wanting to update doesn't reflect "ALL" the reasons to let the "USER" decide if they want it on or off. You showed us the dumb ones and left it at that. That's a biased version. If Microsoft update content was "ONLY" security you'd be spot on! But it's not and you're not. There's not a single software/app that isn't using every method possible in trying to convince you to open your wallet to them. With some software, MS mandatory update will not "file save" before the shutdown. Over the past 10 years I've lost 100's of work hours to Microsoft update shutdowns. In my work schedule there is no "safe time" to allow updates. I have my own methods for backup and mandatory MS update doesn't work with it. I want to review their update files and initiate updates based on my needs and on my schedule, not theirs. There is no solid reason for "mandatory updates". Ignorant users is not a reason. They are now and always will be an intrusion. If users want to be stupid, that's their prerogative. But then, stupidity isn't the premise for "mandatory" updates, is it? After every update I'm daunted with the task of a reconfigure to get my OS back to the way I had it configured before they stepped on it. Can you please tell us why my configuration required a change? I can ..... I killed their unwanted intrusions, marketing and I adjusted the permissions. They are so petty they even change the settings in file explorer back to default. My first PC was a DOS dual 5" floppy with 128K ram and no hard drive. The only internet was a CBBS with one Internet provider using a 2400 baud modem. I've seen MS updates go from legit to outright intrusive. Just once I'd love to see an MS version labeled "Not for Idiots - No Marketing - No Demo Software Bloat - Last Version". And I'd pay any price for that option.
