I hate the auto reboot feature after certain updates. When I am programming, I sometimes walk away and find my computer has rebooted and shut down everything without saving anything.
I don't know which bright mind at MS came up with this idea, but I think he should be shot, twice.
This has literally cost me hours of work.

I guess I am not the only one, I came across this thread:

There are some solutions to get rid of the auto restart feature. It's quite annoying to get that message every 10 mins when you're working on something.

so turn off the option to automaticly install updates.. Just install them after you are done with your work...its that simple

I don't mind the auto update feature, I prefer to leave that on. I just don't want the computer to be restarted automatically. It's a laptop, so it is only on when I am using it normally. My regular pc does it during the night, then it's no big deal.

It's just a big mistake on MS part to reboot a computer without the user telling it do so imo.
