Don't forget that these 90 days are also 90 more days where this vulnerability can be exploited by attackers.

Microsoft has set up a patch delivery infrastructure that's pretty effective and comparably fast by industry standards, if not deactivated by the people who got offended by the forced Windows 10 upgrade and feature creep.

Well, Windows Update is forcing me to deactivate it in one machine bacause it continues to make it unusable. I have come to terms with most quirks of the forced updates, but in this particular situation Windows is nasty und uncooperative.

Add to it Microsofts well established unwillingness to provide any useful diagnostic information and suddenly the only way to use the machine is to not update it.
