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.

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.
