I think the logic behind their statement lies in updates that reinstall the bloatware, as often is the case with Microsoft edge

  You can uninstall the updater too ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Just move its files (C:/windows/system32/wua*.dll) somewhere else. Put them back when/if you want to install updates, install updates, then move them again.

    It's more complex than that now. For the last 4 years, Microsoft has a "Medic Service" that will put Windows update back if you just move those files.

      That service is also a file, iirc it's among those wua* ones. Everything is a file!

        I found a great file that allows me to install Linux!
        • grishka 2y ago
          The only problem with that is that then you have to use Linux.

            One person's problem is another person's hidden joy. Didn't they teach you to not yuck other's yum in primary school? :)
