just a tip, once you get your final updates you can delete the windows\software distribution folder to free up space on the drive. in my case it freed up 2.7gigs.

Update folder was never cleaned so probably other stuff in it. Last update was 430mb for me

More likely to have windows 10/11 updates brick your machine than be hacked on win7. As long as his av and Firefox get updates hes good to go.

Looks like 10 and 11 got more security issues than 7.

Half of these vulnerabilities require physical access to the machine. I doubt if someone got to my laptop would be wasting time to hack it if they can just pick the whole thing up and do a runner.

I have noticed this with win 10/11 , but it could be improving things? Plus win 10/11 doesn't do this all the time.

This may be the .net Framework compiler going at it when idle. What i do once windows is installed and fully updated is to manually run ngen.exe executequeueditems command and have it do all the compiling in one go. Then no more random cpu usage. I run that command after doing windows updates once every 2 months or so. I got auto updates disabled so manually run it once in 2 or 3 months
