Reply to the parent commenter. I never disputed that. But since you replied to me: MS never allowed external security teams to audit its auto-update infrastructure. Can they not deploy any software with auto update? Until recently,their crypto api had a bug (backdoor? Lol) that allowed forging signatures for auto updates...so.. I don't see your point. Much like huawei, the speculation is that these types of backdoors will be used in times of war or severe political tension.
