I'm not happy about automatic updates because I've had to deal with some broken ones (there STILL isn't, as far as I know, a recent competent driver for my nVidia card - I'm using one that's two or so years old. Every batch of updates strongly recommends updating, but I find it hard to work on a black screen with black writing).
I (very recently) had an Intel update that totally disabled the touchpad.

I was staying with my son who is 'qualified' in IT (and has worked extensively therein).

Even with his experience (and referring to the internet on his iPad) it took a while (and a separate mouse) to undo the update (resorting to 'Restore' in the end).

If I had been at home I would have been stuffed!

The driver wouldn't roll-back so it had to be 'restore'.
