   It's mainly about security updates. But you have to
buy an enterprise license. This was much easier wth XP.
A single Registry entry identiying the system as kiosk
was enough to get updates.

   Personally I had a lot of probems with my one attempt to
run an offline security update. Since then I just lock the
gates. I don't want MS on any of my computers. And I
don't use MS software like MS Office or Remote Desktop.
I removed Edge. So there's not much in their updates that
would be relevant.

   The only things I updated on XP were mostly functionality,
like a TLS update. I think I got a wanncry patch. That was
it, running XP SP3 to early 2024. (I moved to 10 only because
browsers and some software were leaving XP behind.)
