Windows: we noticed that you kept the useless search bar disabled since 2015, so we sent an update that re-enabled it without your permission

For my "convenience" and because in this way they can show ads and clickbait
Also: I SET A FUCKING GROUP POLICY THAT DISABLES THE SEARCH BAR; WHY THEY FUCKING IGNORE IT???

Why not use win 10 ameliorated, no updates enabled
If you're okay with Windows 10, why not LTSC? No feature updates but you do get security updates for an extended lifecycle.
I honestly don't see a difference, and haven't seen a difference in the past 4 years going between ameliorated windows and LTSC.
The only reason I still use Windows is because of VR, I heavily invest my time in VRchat. Other than that, arch is my daily driver.

Lmao nice
Windows without updates = exploit found tomorrow = ransomware installed next week
I'm sorry, do you seriously take me for an idiot? How disingenuous.
Do you think that ransomwares appear out of thin air once an exploit is found?
unpatched windows has thousands of remote code execution exploits without user interaction, never heard that?
Go to watch wannacry, there was no exe to open, it only needed unpatched "ameliorated" windows
so yes, ransomware can appear out of thin air once an exploit is found.

That is just completely wrong, wannacry spreads through LAN to other computers by using an exploit called EternalBlue, it utilized Server Message Block v1 or SMB v1, a feature of Windows for the use of setting up device communication within a network.
The ransomware doesn't just pop into any computer, it has to still drop in as a payload, an executable into the intial computer most likely through phishing emails.
On top of that I am the only one on my network.
ok so you're completely safe then. Enjoy your unpatched windows exposed to internet
The reason why I don't care as much because I wipe my windows install every 2-3 months, which then proceeds into installing the latest version. Sooo yea.
