Theres also another thing, 0Patch is not free, its   24.95 EUR + Tax  which roughly converts to $50 NZ - So if you have to pay, you may as well just pay the MS one, for a few $$ more.

AND the "Free version" Is not worth the free price. ( See Screen shot)
Yeah, I was looking at that. That's what puts me off it TBH.
Im more interested in open source alternatives.
Been a while since I've used autopatcher, but that’s something I used extensively back in the day, not too sure where it stands with Windows 10 updates.

Worth a look if you want some truth about  updates and EOL.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R266CwiwoMo

Even got a newsletter from ESET the other day, in it was a statement, cant remember the exact wording but it went something like, Doesn't matter how secure / effective Software protection is no one can stop human stupidity.

lol I did a job awhile back for a client where the office lady received an email with a supply order, Eset flagged it, she disabled Eset then opened the email and followed the instructions - ransomware infected the network
You can't protect people from stupid.
Ive seen similar things, some years ago a staff member opened an email containing a supposed invoice from NZpost to collect a parcel, the staff member did the same thing and the ransomware encrypted everything across the network.
Thankfully I was able to find a decryption tool from the Russian antivirus company DrWeb which I find suspicious in itself.
