Reasons NOT to Disable Windows Update

Windows Operating System has lots of bugs. New Security vulnerabilities get discovered every now and then, some are high-severity vulnerabilities.

  • Some Microsoft other services does not work properly when windows update is disabled, for an example, you must install Microsoft Office, Microsoft Visual Studio or MSSQL Server, etc.. before disabling windows update, because they get support from windows update to accomplish their installtion.

  • If you have a Potato PC (Slow, Low Memory, Low Storage, Old). We all have/had one.
  • If you have a Slow or Limited Internet Connection.
  • If you don't care about getting information leaked or getting hacked, no private data stored, basically a computer to play games for kids or something.
  • If you have a Closed Limited Network Environment or Virtual Machine, or maybe a VPN connected all the time.
