  Disable automatic updates

  Unless your offline don’t do that. Even on windows that’s the worst advice one can give.

    I’ve been using my device for well over 5 years and have had zero issues. And there isn’t much of an alternative if you need Windows compatibility.

      This is the most tech-illiterate comment I’ve ever read

      Just because you’re not “noticing any issues” doesn’t mean your system isn’t infested like a zombie’s gangrenous asshole

      Even if you’re on an isolated network, not installing any applications, and you keep your browsers up to date: you’re not receiving mitigations for hardware-based exploits (like SPECTRE and RowHammer)

      I strongly urge you to wipe that drive clean and change all your passwords if you’re using that system for anything other than the screensaver

    okay Switch to Linux if you can and are willing to undergo constant troubleshooting. I chose not to, and this is how I managed that.

      If you want to stop endless troubleshooting, switch to Linux.

      I see it the other way around. Linux just works, windows is the constant trouble shooting. Look at what you are talking about doing right now.

      I have to work with Windows environments, I work with their desktop, servers, and cloud environment. I do it all from a Linux machine because it is reliable and the most predictable. Also the most sensible desktop to work from but that is another conversation.
