Comment on Microsoft Is Downloading 6GB of Windows 10 Updates Without User’s Consentparent

Comments

Windows Update downloads more than "patches". It has been used in the past to distribute standalone tools and service packs.

It has never wholesale upgraded the OS to a new major version. Nobody expects it to.

And that's a large part of why Windows security has always been terrible. While we may not have expected it, that just means we were pleasantly surprised.
