I worked at a vertical (hydroponic) farming start up that raised a couple hundred million in funding, valued at over a billion, unicorn and all that. The controllers in the farms themselves were RPi class machines that talked to Google's IoT service. They were manufactured to order (no video ports, for example), always online via LTE modems, and they were stable and did their jobs well.
its working, back in the old days it was called Palladium and was widely rejected as the experts knew what their endgame was, 20 years later with a rebrand into TPM with enforcement baked in and its a resounding success, any hacker knows if it has Trust in the product name its anything but trustworthy.
not that easy pal, you have to follow the rabbit, Win10 has multiple watchdogs that periodically check to see if WindowsUpdates services or any parts of the update system are disabled/broken/corrupt, if it finds issues the watchdog processes will re-enable/repair updates, the reason being is many malware apps used to disable updates so now a watchdog checks.
It is possible to disable it but long gone are the days that simply disabling WindowsUpdate in services.msc would stop it.

Americans are like the guy or girl who was hot growing up. They never realized how much good-will they had gotten from past generations and some amazing PR.

Even from their position in the Cold War, a bastion of self-styled freedom against Communism's oppressive totalitarian fist.
Now they're pissing it away for nothing. China is building soft power throughout Africa. Europe is cutting itself off from them. There's a trade war with China of some sort, which is hilarious when you consider a large part of the products imported from China are literally not made in the US.
All to pad a few billionaires' pockets, to make a few people even richer.
