Turn off windows updates

Our office uses a computer guy who has turned off all of windows updates.
He said we dont need them. Can anyone confirm this.

Thank you

Hello, Do not know your office set-up.
Worked in several different places.
They all had the working units connected to servers.
The techs would run all updates for all applications installed.
Usually ran the repair and updating after closing.
Do not know if this is the reason, perhaps you can ask that person to
clarify the remark.
take care.

Simply turning them off is as foolish as blindly installing all of them.

If your business lives or dies on the reliable availability of your
Windows-based systems, you should have someone responsible for
monitoring the fixes, downloading the ones that apply to your
installation and testing them on systems that run your business
software.

Once he's verified that the fixes and your software coexist, he can then
deploy those fixes to the rest of the systems in your business.

Are you sure you understood what they were telling you?

Are they updating your systems from internal servers? Ask about "WSUS".
