Automatic updates are recommended by many vendors as they are considered essential for safeguarding against security threats and maintaining system performance. Updates not only enhance security but also deliver bug fixes and new features, contributing to improved user experience. Software updates, however, come with the inherent risk of breaking existing functionality and can potentially interfere with other software or the operating system itself causing unintended side effects. Automatic updates that the user has no control over escalate the risk further.
