is updating windows 10 good or bad for gaming?
should i enable it or disable it?

You should enable for security and stability to keep your gaming rig safe and sound. Enjoy!

It probably won't have much effect on any gaming, what does have effect on gaming are GPU driver updates. OS updates are very recommended for security reasons, i would keep them enabled if only for that (in fact, i do: i recommend you do too).

In theory, it should be neutral, unless they updated dx12 or something.

Either way what I typically do is wait, unless the update is genuinely important for security reasons, until some of the bugs are ironed out (obviously depends on the update. Anniversary = not worth)

if you wanna get hit with ransom ware like wannacry then go ahead and disable windows updates

you can't disable updates in Windows 10.

technically there is a way to disable it in windows 10 pro via group policies. but the creators update gives you more ways to control updates now anyway

do you even know what updates do? updates fix software bugs and patch security holes

UPDATES can be bloat and bad... everyone knows that.... i just wanted to know what it does to my gaming lately ... i usually have it turned off
