How often should Windows 10 update?

Now, in the “Windows as a service” era, you can expect a feature update (essentially a full version upgrade) roughly every six months. And although you can skip a feature update or even two, you can’t wait longer than about 18 months.

I like to at least try to cycle the running of Windows updates to at least every 4 – 6 weeks. One of my co-workers feels that this is too often and that updates should only be run every 8 – 10 months.
