Well this is going to go swimmingly as always :lol: Sing with me "There may be trouble ahead"!
Oh please make it postpone the auto restart for updates, please microsoft PLEASE
auto restart? It actually does that? I haven't seen it any on w10 based computer yet(or heard about it from family/friends). I thought that was just a joke people made to bash on Windows

It does, but only after waiting a fairly long time. Win10 schedules restarts/updates for off-peak hours (when it notices you use your PC less), but won't interrupt what you're doing should you be busy when these hours roll around.
The exception is "high priority" updates, which will skip the restart a few times if it notices you're busy, but will eventually force a non-delayable shutdown so that it can install.
Personally I can't say I've found it all that annoying. The updates don't take as long to install as they used to so you're usually back up and running 2 minutes later anyway.
This will probably be like Razers Cortex software that lets you shutdown nearly every background process for better game performance.
How much can we bet that this will only work with Windows Store games ? ^_^

It's a MAJOR pain in the arse - my workstation with several virtual machines running on it, automatically restarts, and I've tried a lot of tricks to stop it from happening - disabled windows update service, edited registry database etc, and it still restarts automatically!
One would think that Windows 10 Pro users would have the "privilege" to disable such a thing, but alas, only Windows 10 server editions seem to have that...
There's an easy fix for that. Just restart the damn thing when you notice it wants to, no more 'nice surprises'
On the other hand you can actually set a postponement in Windows Update, when an update is ready to restart the PC.
