With my last computer, my policy was to avoid installing windows and other updates at all costs.
With the new computer, I decided to just go ahead and install all the recommended updates. And note that every day there's something telling me I need to install updates.
Today I installed some "important" HP and Windows updates, and now I have to re-solve some of the same problems I solved weeks ago.
For example, after the update, the fan was once more always on. Luckily, I remembered how to fix that (BIOS setting).
The other problem is that something is preventing the OS from sleeping. I never really figured out how I solved that last time, so I've already spent an hour searching.
So I'm back to my old policy: "If it works, don't update it."
