Automatic Software Update National Management Firewall Needed

Often, a person on the computer may find that their computers are asking for a delay to their activities, as it has to perform certain "updates". This creates an un-necessary delay to the undertakings of the person, and in a business environment, this would be a major risk for business activities and business failures.


Also, when developing online software products, if some of the underlying software infrastructure is automatically updated, this may also cause a crash of the web server (actually happened to me!). 


This urgently calls for a National Infrastructure to monitor and release any software that is being sent online, especially for critical digital infrastructures such as Operating Systems, Web Technologies etc. A 'Firewall' for software updates that adheres to, engages and complies with the digital market environment has to be implemented. 


Otherwise, quite literally, we are at the mercy of a seemingly well-intending "Update" that simply destroys our time and work.

  • Sounds like a terrible idea.  A national organisation gets to decide what software you are allowed to have on your computer.  If it's not approved, you can't have it.


    And unless everybody has to run the same operating system on the same computer, this is unlikely to solve any of the problems we actually have with software updates.
