This "security" thing is getting ridiculous. It's become the Gestapo of information technology, they can do anything they want when they want to your computer, cannot resist it and there's absolutely no transparency on what they do to you and why.
I've recently changed jobs and the new employer, a large company, obviously has to have an IT compliance / security update policy because everyone else has it so if they stand out from the crowd and don't do it and somehow get hacked, it's 100x worse than constantly annoying employees and top of the line computers working like a 1970s terminal.
It's rarely that a week passes without the obligatory update + restart. And at least once a month they update THE FUCKING BIOS! What the fuck can be so broken in those laptops that the BIOS is a constant security hazard?! And why would you buy software from someone who week after week after week tell you all you had so far was a hazardous piece of shit that cannot possibly function without constant pampering?
Ahh and of course they botch it. Had to have the OS completely wiped out and reinstalled after the laptop started to behave more and more erratically, 100% caused by faulty updates on top of faulty patches trying to patch the faulty updates. Worked OK for a while afterwards then updates started piling up and so far I only lost use of the web camera (before it was Wifi then display adapter).
There's literally no words how much I hate "the system" and the constant security update take it up the ass we're forced to put up with.
