A while ago people were still in favor of forced updates for muggles in the name of security.
At some cross-over point of course mircosoft becomes the larger threat actor.
I still have a single windows laptop for VR. Steam VR games don't quite seem to work ok for me on proton yet, sadly. (Most other games do, fortunately). Since that particular laptop only makes very limited network connections, an update is plausibly a net negative for me already.
I'm sort of surprised there's no straight-forward "block windows updates" firewall for the raspberry pi or so, or is that what pi-hole is for?

Yes, it does work. And it should continue to work because Group Policy is an enterprise feature that Microsoft does not want to violate. Home users are SOL, though.
