How DARE MS shut down my PC automatically to install updates!!

This sort of behavior on MS's part is reprehensible and outrageous. How
bizarre that MS would elect to shut down users PC's using a timer
function, rather than allow users to choose when to shut down to finish
installation of updates. Brickbats to Gates & Company. No wonder I
cant stand Microsux.

I guess its time that i disable updates. That way I'll not have my
computing interrupted on Microsux's schedule. Scum sucking monopolistic
jerkass company. Any MS apologists here can save their breath--if you
try to excuse the inexcusable, all you do is drop your credibility to zero.

Actually, if you wait, a little yellow shield will appear so you can
watch the updates install and then, if needed, reboot your computer
without shutting down. That said, installing the updates outside the
Windows GUI is probably a good idea.

You agreed to it and this has been ranted about before. You don't have
to allow automatic updates - it's an OPTION YOU AGREE TOO.

Exactly! I, myself, was on the way to a personal high score at Solitare when
it came time for my nap. Upon return from repose, my score was gone!

I had to go have a lie-down.

You dear sir should have set the solitaire setting that 'saves on close'.
Then, you could still be working on your score.

These nitwits should stop their bawling and LEARN how to configure Windows
Update.

So, so simple to do...

The issue is not so simple as just one of proper configuration of
windows update. Please read the following:
