Hi, I have a HTPC & running win 7 64, purely used as a HTPC with XBMC.

I have Avast AV on it but was just curious, is it worth bothering with doing windows updates on this machine.

What do you guys do for your htpc that purely used for videos & music.

Thanks

It is on the home network as well.
 
I think the real question is, why would you not install the updates? Unless you have a really good reason not to... install them.

this I just leave mine on automatic and it takes care of itself, I don't have a great reason for doing it but I can think of no reason what so ever for not doing it!
 
Why wouldn't you update.
I find it a mind boggling position, what's you reasons for not updating?

Oh and yes my hTPc has auto update turned on.

Mine too. Besides security and virus definition updates you could get optimisation downloads too which can only be a good thing.

I use mine for web surfing and email checking when not watching TV so the security of an updated machine is good peace of mind. :)
