    I would agree, but there’s been at least two updates in the last six months that restarted my machine before I even got to see the pending restart warning. I use it every day and shutdown if I won’t be. So the restart happened less than 24 hours after any warning if there even was a warning.

    That has the potential to lose things I’m working on. Windows pathetic attempt to bring things back falls woefully short of functional.

    Flash up alerts to say there’s critical updates, but the action to actually restart should be a human interaction.
