Security breaches among other things have happened before through auto-updates, it doesn't matter really whose fault this is, they never learn and don't give the option for users to switch it off to protect their systems. I've mentioned this in another thread but there was a security breach via Unity Engine's auto-update in their launcher and that's what made me switch from them because it was a major red flag for incompetency.
Auto-update just means that you're opening yourself up to a cyber attack from a third party who can bork peoples' systems overnight while the majority are asleep.
I don't know if they re-enabled that recently or not, but as far as I know you can only disable windows updates through regedit and typical bs work arounds.
There is something strange about the response to CrowdStrike. I've had people defend them and blame the companies for having auto-update.
It's not just an observations but along the lines of they are good and we need to continue doing business with them. It feels very odd and forced.
not defending crowdstrike, but auto updates are a bad idea in my opinion.

I think you can switch off Microsoft updates? IDK about this Crowd strike thing.
