Over the weekend, we ran a poll asking, "Do you update Windows 10 right away or wait?" The votes are in, and polled Windows Central readers seem to agree that immediately installing updates is the way to go. As of the time of this writing, just under 75% of those that voted said they install updates right away, leaving approximately 25% waiting to see if any issues arise.
