People here have also achieved that (no updates) by breaking stuff

Microsoft itself has now come up with an update that does this,
too--kills the ability to receive further updates. As I mentioned in
the posting that started this thread.

 
Sigh! It's *not* "an update [which] kills the ability to receive
further updates". It's a corner case ...

 
Which only started happening after a particular update.

  Duh! But - as I *wrote*, but you ignored and snipped - the risk of
getting the problem existed only for a very short time and only in very
uncommon scenarios.

  But don't let facts get in the way of your unsubstantiated contentless
Microsoft/Windows bashing. If this is all the ammunition you have, you
don't have much.

  And FYI, no-one in this Windows group has reported that they have
actually experienced this 'problem'. I wonder why *that* is!?
