When I was young and dealing with Win 98 and XP before all the service packs updates had like 10% chance of bricking the OS and would give me anxiety so I'd avoid them. Even with Windows 7 had an update that made explorer.exe refuse to start. It hasn't happened in many years, maybe they got their shit together but I still have anxiety about updates even though I'm savvy enough to fix issues now. Just because I can doesn't mean I wanna.
