I would agree that is a part of the problem but it happens to me at times other
than WinUpdate. Sometimes when NFU is run MS DEF reports and quarantines
it. MS DEF is at best with old stuff, problematic. At worst, dumber than a bag
of hammers. 

I too get stuff changed, rolled back, turned off and reset back to defaults.
They can, and have in the past, installed updates and kept all setting they way
they were. My
perspective is, Cool, bring your updates to make the system safer and better.
KEEP my settings intact, you can program it in to read them, store them and PUT
THEM BACK!
If I have set a black background, no screen saver, turned off OneDrive, didn't
setup a MS Account, etc..... Leave It Alone!
If I turned it off or didn't set it up, what makes you think I want it now?
You'll make more happy customers that way.

I know, it's fantasy land...
