New and ugly attack vectors. Remember your Antivirus scans for files. What happens when there is no file?

Fileless Malware isn't new, it's just new to Windows. This stuff has been a threat to Linux for years because Linux's command line is so much more powerful. However now that Windows has powershell they have a command line that almost as powerful.
Secure your Powershell. Run Set-ExecutionPolicy Restricted to turn off all scripts or Set-ExecutionPolicy AllSigned to only allow legitimately signed scripts.
For the security focused I would recommend restricted. For the slightly less security focused AllSigned should be fine.

I'm of two minds about auto updating, only because I want to know what is being updated and why.

Me too. But when it comes OS (Mac, Windows, etc.) I rather go with auto updating. I don't like the risk of being exposed to some vulnerability because my system is not patched. Thousands of companies and individuals were victim of the WannaCry ransomware mainly because their systems were not patched.
