Microsoft says it removed a Copilot app that was "incorrectly" added to Windows 10 and Windows 11 systems in April due to buggy Microsoft Edge updates.
People have commented that it’s crazy that I have completely disabled all updates on my win10 machine. This sort of thing is why.
Edit: I haven’t had a virus or malware since… I was a teenager. It seems like if you use an adblocker, don’t click links from unknown sources, and are aware of your network activity, you are pretty safe. The writing is on the wall, I am aware that I will need to switch to Linux soon, but I am also aware that Linux has compatibility issues with my particular machine and doesn’t work with certain activities I like to do. I am hoping these issues will be mostly sorted by the time I make the leap.
Disabling updates is not a good choice. If you use Windows, update Windows. Having an insecure and not up to date version of windows makes you more vulnerable

It’s crazy because it’s a huge security risk. If your that committed to not updating Windows, move to an alternative OS.
Yeah… that’s not the genius solution you seem to think it is.
Just air gap it lol
