Correct, upgrading from 22H2 to 23H2 is going to make AI take over
one's entire life. Or maybe one could just not use that feature.

Time to use grc.com InControl and set the version you want :-)

*******

With a CoPilot, I expect there will be Full Self Driving.

CoPilot will be symbolized by "Clippy" and

"I see you're writing a Ransom Note -- want some help with that ?"

https://www.techradar.com/news/microsofts-ai-gamble-with-windows-copilot-could-be-another-clippy-fiasco

"To avoid Windows Copilot turning into another Clippy, Microsoft needs
to ensure that it doesn't become too intrusive. That means it shouldn't
show pop-ups or take over the screen."

That doesn't sound like something Microsoft would do.

If we do that, do we then miss security updates?

The support interval on Win11 is shown in the table here.
It's two years per release. I've taken the liberty of rounding
the table entries, so they make logical sense.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_11_version_history

22000 Oct 2021 - Oct 2023
22621 Oct 2022 - Oct 2024
22631 Oct 2023 - Oct 2025

If you get "two releases behind", you can see that something
happens to you. Your "libwebp heap overflow" doesn't get fixed.

However, your Windows Defender virus definitions, continue
to be received, as far as I know. That part of your "security" works.
But bug fixes to zero days and exploits, that stops coming in.

This is why there is an "accelerated" effort to upgrade machines
at some calendar date, to try to keep the machines within the
two year window (or two streams of support).

Each jumbo update you receive (Cumulative Patch Tuesday), consists
of many component packages inside. And Windows 10 and Windows 11
share some of those. At least from a logical point of view.
The infrastructure details (version stamps), might be different.

Since Microsoft juggles many balls at once ( Enterprise Long Term as
well as the Consumer versions), there must be considerable automation
for managing release streams.
