I hadn't opened my Win 8 laptop in a few weeks, and had over 20 or so updates to install and noticed one ws a fairly large update, non-security related update to Win 8. Anything significant in it?

Thanks!

The best security is to keep the laptop off. :thumb:

If it's a non security large update, it can be a compatibility or stability one: good to install.

Mine is also offline... but I'll install all updates when i get the chance. Up until now, no hangs or black screen loops or whatever people encounter sometimes. For that just make sure you have the latest drivers installed.

Thanks
