I've never understood the point of auto-update. All auto-update does is breaking software that worked fine for you, slowing down startup and wasting bandwidth. Of course owners win from that auto-update, because auto-update gives them control over your computer by turning the software into rootkit, disguised as security updates. That way Linux, Windows and OSX slowed-down user PCs under the agreement with Intel, using pretense of patching that actually harmless meltdown bug. That way Intel can sell faster newer CPUs, because all older ones got performance penalty after auto-update. Same way Apple slows down IPhones through auto-update to boost sales.
