Non-security updates don't do that, they get queued and presented every week by default, unless you manually go into the update manager or package manager, in which case the Update manager is deferred for another week.Are you saying that you really NEVER experienced an upgrade that creates a problem? I use my computer to work. Sometimes I just can't afford the risk that the thing breaks, even in minor aspects. E.g. when I am preparing a presentation or I am under a deadline. For this reasons the popup cannot be that frequent, it'd be annoying to people like me. But this creates a time-window for worms. If any. So the effect is: - security updates are presented immediately - others are presented occasionally, on a cadence that's judged reasonable Mark |
