yep and that very behaviour is what makes malware spread so easily. malware writers rely on people like yourself that are slow at patching, they don't need to discover new vulnerabilities, they just reverse engineer the patch and they have a way to compromise a large volume of users that thinks they know better and can wait for a few days or a few weeks or what usually happens they never get aorund to doing it at all until something happens. You are far more likely to have issues from not patching than patching.


Funny how I haven't had malware in over a decade yet my friend who updates frequently had some last year.
