I feel disabling antivirus scan during Windows Update to reduce the chance of your AV from messing up Windows Update.

I feel waiting a few days before installing a Windows update may reduce the chance of an antivirus messing up Windows Update. Microsoft may un-publish the update and the antivirus will update their AV if too many users are having problems with Windows Update when they use a certain antivirus.

Same, I tend to never install day one updates, got to give them time to work out any unknown bugs.

I heard Windows 11 does not have as many users as Windows 10. I think a lot of people are waiting for Windows to fix most of the problems in Windows 11.

Most are trying to stay away from it, many going to linux even which keeps it safe from viruses.

Linux now have more Linux compatible games, and software, so I feel more people are using Linux these days because it has most of the software titles they need to use.

Linux can be good for people with bandwidth limits and slow internet connections because many popular Linux OS does not send user's computer usage information and files like bookmarks, pictures and document files back to the OS maker's servers.
