There is absolutely a difference between tech users and folks into
computers which are outlier and most folks who it’s just a tool, plus
unless it’s installed on the computer, in my experience folks don’t update
there computers unless the computers force them too!

In my experience, computers are configured to update themselves
without involving the user.  The only problem with that is when the
user fails to notice that the operating system wants him to reboot the
computer after the update.  I've had users go for weeks without
rebooting, especially when the computer is setup for standby, sleep,
hibernate or some exotic power saving mode.  I deal with it by
demanding that my customers reboot their computer before calling me on
the phone for help.

Customers who fail to update isn't much of a problem for me.  It's
customers who fail to backup that worry me.  I've setup machines to
backup automatically, but they usually find a way to break that.
However, since I've retired, I don't do much of that any more.  At
best a few of my long term customers get a reminder email to run a
backup, which they always have an excuse why they can't run the
backup.
