Uh.. Sure, security patches, which kind of... falls under the "causes

This is.. Sorry, but, seriously, stuff like "drivers", they don't auto 
patch at all, even when it might make sense to, which.. kind of tends to 
effect OS and machine performance. So... Not so good there. Other 
patches.. There is only *one* update site, and the only thing ever 
"added" are new versions of the "malicious software removal drone", 
whose sole purpose seems to be to send my machine into frozen limbo for 
several minutes, while it hunts hundreds of gigs of files for 
"dangerous" stuff, which it never actually finds. Meanwhile, its like 
running update under 98. Go eat dinner, and maybe by then the damn 
machine will be usable again. My virus scanner's "all drives and files" 
scan runs faster that that thing does, and causes less processor lag.
