At this rate it might be safer to stay on unsupported Windows 10 with no security updates.

I had my wife on Win 10 with the wifi off for a week … but … yoga videos.

Are there any known exploits of latest Win 10 so far? Kinda seems based on this even online old Windows is more secure than Windows 11 with Copilot. At least Windows 10 isn't actively seeking out malware.

Or it may just be time to switch to Linux. They seem to have fixed most of their usability and compatibility issues now.
