I always like to wait awhile before getting them, then you have the chance to use something like Google News to find out if a new update screws things up.

To disable automatic updating:

Press the Windows logo key + R then type gpedit.msc and click OK. Go to "Computer Configuration" > "Administrative Templates" > "Windows Components" > "Windows Update". Select "Disabled" in Configured Automatic Updates on the left, and click Apply and "OK" to disable the Windows automatic update feature.
