Yet another reasons to blocks automated updates on Windows. Lets see how Edge becomes 'safer' in that situation.
MS is unpredictable and I do not trust them. One day it might decide to put ads on wallpaper or something.
1. Apply security updates, so you are not vulnerable to easily solvable security risks.
2. Don't use Windows 10.
Disabling automatic updates isn't really a viable solution, and I will convey downvotes to people who advocate it.
As they switch to a cumulative update model, will you wildly down-vote people who think that breaking their system with 1 update out of 10 is somehow reasonable ? Or that excluding that update but installing others would make more sense, then:
a) leaving everything out for that month,
b) having an unusable system.
Morons like you who accept and even enforce this kind of "my way of the highway" attitude to the others are the reason MS can get away with it.

> Some Windows 10 editions let you defer upgrades to your PC. When you defer upgrades, new Windows features won’t be downloaded or installed for several months. Deferring upgrades doesn’t affect security updates. Note that deferring upgrades will prevent you from getting the latest Windows features as soon as they’re available.
