   Looking at that monitor, I usually only see one Defender Update a day  and   
   there   
   was one Security Update (KB5068164) and a 'Microsoft.WindowsFeedbackHub' that   
   I've   
   never heard of before on December 30th. I assume the security update was an   
   'out of   
   bounds' one because they're normally on the second tuesday of the month of   
   course.   
   I've never heard of any of the other updates you mention and the only 'Critical   
   Event' crashes i can see are from external programs that I already knew about.   
    This is on W10 Professional on the ESU program.
