My comments on that: First, why are you using windows for serious things? Second, why do you let automatic updates enabled giving strangers permission to change things that may affect YOUR MONEY? The automatic updates thing is more or less like the AirBag systems on new cars: they were developed not to avoid crashes but instead to protect people AFTER a crash occurs. AirBag does not protect against new crashes. But in practice the effect was inverse: more crashes happened BECAUSE of AirBag present on a vehicle than happened before when there was no AirBag. Let me explain. This is related with the human mind and how people understand things. When people are driving a car that has AirBag system on it, they tend to be less carefull driving because unconsciously they think "okay, if a crash happens, I am protected. So, I do not need to be so much carefull while driving now". And because of this state of mind, more crashes happen after the introduction of AirBag systems. The same is true for automatic updates but in a different fashion. Programmers became used to do things in a rush to give almost daily updates to everything to show someone that they are working on it, and are being less careful with what they are doing because they think: "oh, If I do something incomplete, unsecure, or wrong, I can correct it tomorrow on the next automatic update. So, let's go on with this!".
Awesome content. Thanks for sharing
