I get where some of this is coming from, but I'm not sure that "fixing" Windows by disabling automatic security updates is actually a good idea.

- thescrewdriver 11y agoThe guide shows how to disable sending updates from your computer to other computers on your LAN or on the Internet. It doesn't suggest disabling updates anywhere...
- jonathonf 11y agoI don't understand why you would want to disable LAN distribution of Windows 10 updates to your other Windows 10 machines. It seems like a great way of avoiding multiple downloads of the same thing, and I'd love something similar for Linux (aptorrent or something; manual rsync of /var/cache/apt/archives isn't quite the same, neither is apt-mirror). Disabling uploads to other external machines does make sense to me, though.
- thescrewdriver 11y agoProbably not much point in disabling that. Disabling downloads from other machines on the web makes more sense if you have a data cap or are charged per MB, which is common in some countries. It's not really a privacy-related change as far as I can see.

- y4mi 11y ago... you should recheck, the updates are still automatic the only thing you're advised to disable here are the reports to microsoft about your installed updates/software and P2P updates
