Windows 11

[Smolley]

I have removed the windows 11 update executable, in order to stop updates that reset my defender off settings.

[Scott]

Given W11 is relatively new, I tend to think accepting all updates would be a good idea. There again, I don't use Defender as my defence.

[Smolley]

Nor do I, it is disabled.

If you want to f*ck your computer up, why not do something more direct, like hitting it with a sledge hammer?

[Smolley]

The computer is running better than ever now, but thanks for your insight.

[John Rumm]

Until the next critical remote exploit vulnerability that gets patched for everyone else except you huh?

[Smolley]

I can put the Win11 update executable back if something important needs to be added. It is surprising how more brisk the system runs without half a dozen services running and huge amounts of information going back to M$.

[Brian Gaff]

And this helps how? The next update you install will put it back.

I am sure I've seen third party software to have more control of updates. You have to realise that just like Windows 10, features and changes happen all the time along with security updates etc. I don't agree with this myself, to me they should be separate, but remember you can still run Windows 10. Even Windows 7 for a while, but increasingly new versions of third party software make use of newer features and won't install or have limitations if you clobber updates. Brian

[Smolley]

I have stopped all update services. I have no requirement to add anything to my setup, it runs very sweetly now and have made an image in case my enterprise goes wrong.

I'm sure we all wish you the very best of luck. Which you will need.

Is that before or after the ransomware has encrypted your system? There are some interesting holes patched by this weeks patch list

You mean it's a toy. Anything more, you would be doing the exact opposite.

[The Natural Philosopher]

Or installing Windows...

If you are a home user and its windo0ws, it is de facto a toy.

Yes, this Windows bollox just seems to go on and on, doesn't it. It's Edge, or Defender, or updates, or Win11, or drive letters, it's never-ending.
