   Franchement je ne vois pas l'utilité des mises à jour, qui ont été   
   désactivé depuis longtemps chez moi sans le moindre mal. A la limite je   
   passerai par les mises à jour manuelles afin d'eliminer ceux qui me   
   concernent  pas de tout 'grands réseaux ' etc, mais comme je dis, sans   
   aucune mon ordi se porte bien. Je trouve que ces mises à jour font chier   
   plutôt qu'autre chose et passe,t la moitié du temps à installer des   
   trucs dont je n'ai absolument pas besoin.
