- SteveNuts 5y agoYeah but the next update will probably turn it back on silently...
- a1369209993 5y agoUnlikely; Windows updates (mostly) only turn things you disabled back on if they're harmful to you.
- saurik 5y agoYeah: and disabling mitigations for an attack certainly wouldn't be considered "harmful" by anyone.
- toomanyducks 5y agoidk about this, my anecdotal experience suggests otherwise - irrelevant things (i.e., monitor resolutions, mouse acceleration curves, and I think DNS settings at one point) can be thrown around by updates a bit too frequently in my experience.
- Causality1 5y agoI have a tablet that was unusable before I installed WuMgr and blocked auto-updates because every 24 hours Windows Update would force-install a broken touchscreen driver. Windows Update is the single most embarrassing, half-assed software project of the 21st century.
