Yeah but you also are not getting security updates. Which is the problem with disabling Windows updates because it serves both necessary security updates and "feature" updates nobody wants, through the same channel, and there's no way to disable just the latter. And Windows seems to have way more security issues than any other mainstream OS.

I always recommend switching to Linux in these cases, where you get full control over whatever the hell you want to upate, and whenever the hell you want to update it (and less incentive to disable updates in general).
