Updates aren't always a good thing. Sometimes Microsoft installs a Windows update that doesn't work properly and disrupts your system. Let's see how to clean up these updates and prevent them from automatically reinstalling.
Windows updates are very important because, in addition to improving certain aspects of your system (performance, interface, etc.), they patch critical security vulnerabilities.
