[QUOTE="kuwanger, post: 8572233, member: 45602"] Until recently if your system root was Veracrypt encrypted the update would fail because the proper driver filter for the encryption wouldn't be present during the update. The fix was to manually download the update and patch the updater. They eventually fixed that, but as a consequence I still haven't gotten around to updating to 1809. That feels like someone saying swiss cheese would make a great life raft. Or that we can trust the NSA with all its warrantless wiretapping because its interests are international and no one could possibly leak data from the NSA. So, yea, no, I don't particular feel Windows in general is a safe place for personal data. Windows 10 has been mostly solid for me, much like 7 and XP were. Plenty of people have had plenty of issues though during the update process (which is apparently somewhere between an install and an upgrade), so I can definitely see people holding off for quite a while. I'd also tend to argue it's not foolish per se to use an operating system with known security exploits and no security support--most Android phones qualify--so long as the entry vectors can be well protected and you're cautious. For example, plenty of people have XP or 98 machines that either don't connect to the internet or do through browsers that are up to date (MyPal for Windows XP, possibly), only used signed software, etc. At a deeper level, most every operating system with a public tracker has known public security exploits. Those that don't still tend to end up being exploitable--pwn2own virtually never fails. There's a reason "security is a process" is a thing. If there were such a thing as a secure OS, it wouldn't be Windows just by the nature of being closed source with closed drivers (see the recent incident with Huwaei). Linux definitely, in its current state, wouldn't qualify. The closest match would be perhaps OpenBSD or some microkernel OS. [/QUOTE]
