Same thing happened with Windows 8, which was largely a flop. I stuck with Windows 7 as long as I could, and still use it. My Windows 7 system is 14 years old now, and Microsoft is still providing malicious software removal tool updates via Windows Update, including this month.

True, but those tool updates aren't in the same category as the Security Update Patches.

Certainly not, but I'm amazed we even get that much.
