Why are developers (since this is an issue that shows up with cargo) running
Windows 7 without security patches installed? Especially since the issue only
shows up on Windows 7 installs that haven't received security patches since
June 2016.

Although developers should know and do better, I think a big part of why they
aren't doing it is because Microsoft has made it so hard to update Windows 7
since a year or two ago, all in the name of forcing people to switch to
Windows 10.

You now have to visit and _manually_ download the updates from Microsoft's
Update Catalog website. Oh, and that website only works on Internet Explorer.
