    If you stay up to date it won’t force you to update. The problem is when you keep putting off updating. It is the same for any system.

    Also the manufacturing type machines are not internet connected and are in a high security environment.

      The point the other commenter is making, which I fully agree with, is that I can have legitimate reasons for not wanting to update. Windows shoving updates down my throat when they can potentially break critical stuff on my machine is pretty much just equivalent to forcing malware on me.
