So my Key discussion is that the Microsoft Corp is not so good in updates. if you like to get maximum output from your old Hardware even new upcoming running market places machines then don't make offence updates. Microsoft is one of those Corp who manufacture or built and forget. so as @deanhills described to my point of view. I hats off on him. more then 60% users are happy after turns off there auto update features. even me too. and i instantly got specific update or program from internet and solution is awesome without make full system update and push burden on low end machines.
i have many USB to RS232 cables which not works on windows 8,10. also PCMCIA cards. some old android recovery software's. old USB drivers, MIDI drivers, old HP printers. and many many more unique things which hot has support in new windows 8 and 10.

same as Ubuntu and Debian has fast updates but still you need kali Linux for cracking patching.

One thing that I learned is that you may be able to download those drivers and emulate them in compatibility mode. When I was running Windows full time on my work machine, I could not stand Windows updates, I always had an issue where my system cache file would corrupt and subsequently all my updates for Windows (drivers were typically fine) would fail to install. That started happening with the 1809 feature release and never really sorted itself out and that's why I went back to Mac.
