Can't remember where I read this long ago. It has been said that Windows users should do daily tasks (email, web browsing, gaming, MS Office, etc) under a User account. And to only use Admin accounts when necessary. For instance, certain programs could not be installed or run unless logged into Admin. Reason given was that Windows was not as secure vs other operating systems like Mac OS or Linux. And this was to prevent certain types of malware infections.
Is this still true in 2018 for Windows 10?
Assuming one sticks with this approach, is it wise to do Windows OS updates while logged into Admin? Same question for antivirus program updates or antivirus scans.
