I read with interest about so many issues with Microsoft updates. For years now I have either prevented these unwanted updates, or uninstalled them from my laptops etc., resulting in trouble free operation. I also have friends who use Apple systems whom report that they do not experience such issues with their machines. Why do Microsoft have to update their system so often, or is it simply so that they can harvest information from your personal data? Windows 10 insistence that you have to accept updates is an infringement to personal privacy. After all, would you let someone enter your home uninvited, rearrange your furniture, disable vital components within your property and then sometime later offer a fix for all of their fuck-ups? I think not. The August 2018 update caused numerous problems to my operating system, culminating in me having to renew the hard drive. Once funds are available an Apple system is on its way!
