    @brwster455  personally i wouldnt if u dont have any issues never update anything especially bios im on 1809 (first release) when it came out never updated again disabled widows update permanently on regedit never had any issues it has been more than one year without a single issue now but everyone is free to do whatever they want my recommendation to everyone is never update anything dont try to fix whats not broken and i dont trust MS to fix anything as 99% of their updates especially the big ones are sent out to everyone without testing so we are the guinea pigs to test them and report any issues so they can fix it because they dont bother about testing them and try to find issues its just a waste of time for them because they have the end users to do that hard work for them so they just force them out to everyone who have them enabled by default
