9:43 These are very good points, but the unpredictability and lack of proper testing of Windows updates in recent years has made a lot of people gunshy around keeping things updated. From users' files being irrevocably deleted to hardware drivers being broken by a Windows update to Windows update itself being found to be vulnerable to a "downgrade" attack recently, a lot of Windows users are sketched out about installing updates as soon as they're available because they don't want it to break something on their computer that is currently working fine. But, on the flip side of that, it leaves them vulnerable to attack.
It is for sure a double edged sword. I think that everyone needs to weigh the risk in both directions for themselves. But people can only do that if they have the prerequisite knowledge.
