As of writing, Samsung has backtracked on their original stance, and will be "issuing a patch through the Samsung Software Update notification process to revert back to the recommended automatic Windows Update settings within a few days."

This is the smartest way to go but unfort not for the masses as most people are just dumb as sh*t, walking (or computing) around with blinders on.
Samsung made the right move in disabling Automatic Updates. The pending Security Flaw in Windows 10, due to be rolled out on July 29, 2015, is going to enable hackers to use the Auto-Update feature's connection to circumnavigate Security Software.
Expect Microsoft to "DENY" the Flaw exists and then as usual Deny responsibility for the breaches / damages it incurs. Nothing new there.

2nd comment you've made that's totally conspiracy theorist-like.
You no longer have any credibility with the sensible-minded.
Seems to me that the "Credibility" of those who predicted the Economic Crash the U.S.A. recently experienced was also considered questionable but they prepared anyhow and positioned themselves to take advantage of the "Sensible Minded Sheeple" who didn't.
Like them I've put forth the effort to enlighten those who will listen and take sensible steps to protect themselves. whether or not Microsoft, you, or for that matter anyone takes precautions is beyond my control and I can live with that. I've already taken the necessary steps to protect myself which makes your "Criticism" pointless. Hey, if it make you somehow feel superior . . . then enjoy it while you can.

Now if the bastards would take the same stance with their Smart TV auto Updates! I really wish those would stop.
I have my updates setting to check for updates & notify me if there are any available.
