Should I disable automatic updates?

I just got my hp envy 14 laptop yesterday. The operating system is windows 7.



I don't know very much about computers lol, but should I disable automatic updates? Are there any real benefits behind them? Some updates were automatically installed last night when I went to sleep, and I have no idea what they are honestly...Should I disable automatic updates?
don't think you would have much luck disabling auto updates anyway, but 99% of them are needed. kind of a pain sometime when it updates and everything slows. but mostly only do it once a month.
NO!

If you use the internet.........you better keep the updates on auto and keep the virus protection up to date.

If you don't ....you will have trouble. Keep IE as you default browser. you can download any browser you like and run it- but keep IE as the default. That makes MS happy, and they will keep your comp clean.Should I disable automatic updates?
No, DO NOT DISABLE them. Basically, everytime windows makes a new update, they tell you what was wrong with the previous update. This basically gives hackers a "blueprint" on how to hack your computer, since they know whats wrong with it...



ALWAYS update your computer!
I would never recommend that anyone disable automatic updates.
No, leave well alone, you are just asking for problems and issues otherwise.
