Some updates have even improved the updating process itself, allowing greater control for users. You can even put off or disable the Windows updates for a long time if you prefer.

One should always keep their operating system up to date in order to get the latest security patches and bug fixes that keep a machine secure. The latest updates also bring new exciting features and performance updates. Aside from other benefits, sometimes major updates also bring updated design.
