Windows 10. One of the biggest fears of some users, and one of the biggest fears induced by PC manufacturers, is related to the security vulnerabilities that exist in computers. More than likely, you have repeatedly heard about announcements by Microsoft or other manufacturers, which said that the security problems of Windows 10, and not only that, which are not detected in time can have disastrous effects on users' computers.
Windows 10. Microsoft, and other operating system manufacturers, constantly ask users to install the latest security patches, which usually contain other changes to operating systems. The world sometimes avoids them, because, at least in the case of Windows 10, they generated bigger problems than they solved, but the manufacturers told them to do the installation all the time, but these recommendations do not have such a real basis behind them.
Windows 10, and other operating systems, exposed a big lie even by Microsoft
Windows 10. According to a study done by Microsoft, most of the major security problems are not exploited so easily and quickly by hackers in today's world, so the danger to which users are exposed is no longer as great. Although security patches must be installed to solve dangerous problems of operating systems, the urgency with which this must be done is no longer as great, especially on Windows 10.
The study found that, based on data gathered by Microsoft's Security Response Center, in the 2017-2018 period, only 2% to 3% of patched exploits are seen in an exploit within 30 days of the patch being distributed. In fact, the vast majority of exploits were based on Zero Days ie. newly discovered exploits for which no patch exists yet.
Windows 10. Between 2017 and 2018, only 2% - 3% of the vulnerabilities solved by security patches were exploited by hackers in the first 30 days after the release of the solution for everyone. This shows that the fear is greater than the problem itself, and those who have Windows 10, or other operating systems, can think more seriously, and more, before installing changes of this kind, which can sometimes generate fights rather large heads.
