Troy Hunt, a cyber security expert and technology blogger, thinks telling people to turn off Windows Update is an idiotic advice. Today, I jump into the debate on whether you should rely on Microsoft to keep your devices secure or should you do extra steps to protect yourself and evaluate the trade-off of privacy, convenience and security for yourself. My argument is that relying on Windows Update for security is not enough. Microsoft is not doing enough to patch its operating system and Windows has never been meant to be connected to the Internet. In other words - because Windows is always insecure, you should never trust Microsoft with your data. Windows update doesn't offer you enough security, but takes away your privacy and the control over your own system. The trade-off is leaning towards turning of the Windows Update and keeping your system up to date and secure manually. You can always manually update your system to stay secure, but on top of that you'll gain more control and privacy over your system and data you have got on it.
