There was a question?The topic title doesn't count since it's so poorly formulated that it says nothing. Yes, it certainly does appear you're attempting to validate your own position and there wasn't a genuine question: "I for one am convinced" followed by "This procedure has worked for me and I have the time to implement it. Assurance, real or imagined, is a good thing."
Your convenient initial comments on my writing and format skills smells- no reaks of- ad hominem , as are many of your other comments.
Thoughts relating to 2 different posts, and not meant to be fused and taken out of context to support your contention.
On the contrary, I was anticipating convincing reasons and arguments to change my mind. I am perfectly capable of doing so. I did not stubbornly insist or suggest that I was locked in that position.
Yes some people should never drive on freeways.
Yes, there are benefits to each choice of update option to the user and to Microsoft. The choice is personal depending on your needs, goals and experiences and for some it best remain auto for the reasons you give and for which I agree. I was only seeking a correlation. if any, to some or even many of the problems/failures of the small subset of users who experienced this. To reiterate, my present feeling is yes, but I am perfectly willing to accept valid arguments to the contrary. And if the answer is yes I am not purporting that everyone change to manual, but that they become more aware of some of the possibilities and reexamine their choices.
I guess the reasons for your utilization of manual update supports some reasons I gave for my own use.
