now, if it survives the next couple weeks, I'll allow the other updates to

Regarding Flex:  that is a special case.  I have numerous W10 computers
on auto update.  The updates have never broken the OS or any ordinary
applications.  They have only ever broken Flex, who admits they don't
know how to completely fix the audio and CAT drivers, and they say that

The Flex is not a good canary because it can be knocked out by updates
that do nothing to other computers that are not running Flex.
