Some pigheaded know-it-alls STILL don't get it!

FOR THE LAST TIME: there are some vista updates that WILL auto reboot
your PC!!

I went more than 3-5 months before i notice it happen ( today). Dont
keep trying to tell me it doesnt happen--IT JUST HAPPENED TODAY, while i
was as the PC. Once i saw an icon on the taskbar, i clicked it and saw
a timer count down..it was at 2 seconds and then it shut down windows.

No, am not hallucinating. I don't see little green men. thanks again
for the great computing experience, MS.

My PC has been rebooted after updates lots of times, you arent nuts

I have often come back after leavign my PC idle overnight to see a
message pop up after logging in saying something to the effect of "Your
PC has been restarted due to updates, Please click here for details"

its hard to believe that this is the first time i noticed this, seeing
as i got my vista machine in May. I do remember seeing someone complain
of this issue a while back, on this NG. There are a few naysayers that
insist Vista wont do that, which is why i created this thread. We know
better now, don't we!! thanks for post.

Our windows and vista machines do this when the users are not logged
into them and they auto-update, they always ask when the user is logged
into them.

Who's being the stubborn jerk here? Did he say that you are not
experiencing the symptoms that you say you are? NO. He was simply
stating the way HIS machines behave. HIS experience. You are being the
jerk here, calling HIS observations BS.

As for MY observations, I have never experienced this behavior in the
8-9 months I've been using Vista. I'm not saying it doesn't happen, I'm
just saying that I haven't observed it happening. I have my updates set
to install at 3 am. If the machine is asleep, it will wake up long
enough to install them. It may reboot (most likely it does), but I am
not normally awake to see, so I don't know. I HAVE seen instances where
updates were downloaded, but not installed, and a little window popped
up telling me that the machine needed to be rebooted, however it gave me
the option to restart later.

So, I really don't know what is causing the behavior that you describe,
but just realize that for every other person that's observing that same
problem, there is at least one other person that HASN'T encountered it.

Why the big deal that the system reboots? (If it really does)

Because if you are doing some kinds of jobs like I mentioned that's
been running 14 hours the reboot kills the job and you have to start
over. Result, you wasted 14 hours of your time. Get it?

You can't play solitaire for 14 hours.
You can't stay awake for 3 continuous hours.

If you have auto install the system reboots during install to complete
the install just like any other update, its not rocket science

If you dont want auto install/reboot turn it off, as Ive not had any
problems with Vista 64 appart from downloading the 64bit codec package I
see no reason to download any more updates so I turned it off.

Windows XP used to try to auto reboot but at least that gave the option
to restart later, but only if you were at the pc

Obviouslt MS think everyone should update imediately and for the vast
majority of users who get viruses, malware and other exploits it
probably best to auto download the updates at least
