The last two Windows updates I let happen force-installed Edge. I removed it afterwards with a helper tool. After it happened the second time in a row, I deactivated Windows updates. Microsoft can go whistle. Should I ever get into trouble for not having updated Windows, I'll trash the VM and restore from a backup. That's a suboptimal solution to be sure, but I don't know how else to fend off this shit.


The problem with this is that when your VM unwittingly become part of a botnet, you're now a cost to everyone else.

Either keep your OS up to date, or use a different one.

Edit or keep it off the internet.


> use a different one

Patched stock Debian Linux is less secure than a 6mo out of date W10 machine: change my view.
