Re: Updates off

I have several Windows 7 & 8.1 machines and every one has updates disabled.

Seems a bit of an overreaction. You can vet updates before installing them, and...

I'm just praying that August allows security only patching again in a way that doesn't try to slip something Win10'ish into my backdoor.

Which is what it does already when the "Give me recommended updates the same way I receive important updates" option is unchecked. Still pays to check, mind.
