I know what you mean, but millions of people have got facebook accounts. At least one of them must be a little intelligent.

It is a blessing to have no interest in other people's stupidity, and, to have no interest in what other people consider other people's stupidity. However, to have no interest in one's own stupidity is as stupid as having excessive interest in one's own stupidity.
The intelligent person is too busy getting smarter to think too much about these things.

I got burned twice last week after being called away from my desk right before normal quitting time. Normally, at the end of the day I make sure to close any open projects and open files/windows. Both days, I had lots of stuff open including VS projects, a few spreadsheets, SSMS with unsaved queries I was working on, and quite a few Notepad 'scratch areas' that I would have like to review and maybe save. Both days, I came back to my desk after a couple of hours to be greeted with the windows login screen.  (forced restart)
I just found this link and thought I would share. Happy weekend!
How to permanently stop Windows 10 reboots after installing updates[^]

Or alternatively this[^] upgrade.
Fixed start menu, full control over updates, no more baby blocks, control [MS] spyware, and much much more

What happens after you do that an the next reboot required update is pushed. Do you get reminded in some what that you need to reboot manually, or can you cruise on in blissful day0ed ignorance for months at a time until the next power failure forces your hand?
I've got a set of group policies set that I think will do the former; waiting to see what happens over the next few days with an update I'm intentionally not rebooting for immediately.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Good question. The article didn't say and I suppose I'll have to wait until the next round of 'important' updates arrive. I'd guess that a notification would let me know that a restart is required...but I'm just guessing!

Waiting to see what happens is mostly why I've been holding off on announcing what I've done as the one true solution.

I hope you will let us all know when you find out. I'll do the same when I can validate it. The op was more of a rant...with a possible fix to a desperate problem. You are wise to not announce a solution until proof exists that it actually works.  Lesson learned.

As long as there is no M61[^] (made in Japan) in the middle of the road.
