Hmm yes ...

I see I can defer updates for up to 35 days. At which point, presumably, they will be forced upon me.

Of course in the bad old days people were laggards about running updates and left themselves vulnerable to security problems. That's a bad thing.

A month seems to me a fair compromise. Find a day you can afford to be without your machine for a bit, if needed, and run the damn update.

Why would I? Because that was offered as a selection. -- GFallsFan 05/15/2018 1:31PM

I actually turned that off. But it requires you to dive into the innards -- ElbertoHokie 05/15/2018 6:02PM

I haven't figured out how to do that. -- GFallsFan 05/15/2018 1:17PM
