PREVENT CRITICAL UPDATES WINDOWS 10
) many don't find windows 10 to be reliable as of now. If your system is restarting without consent, it's already sounding like a stupidly unreliable system, and you shouldn't rely on it.that's probably part of why Windows 7's usage share has stabilized (. Power loss would definitely not be the reason for Laptop/Tablet computers, you're thinking merely about desktops. "Knowing that your computer may restart for a power loss or a myriad of other reasons, *including updates*"
PREVENT CRITICAL UPDATES UPDATE
In any of those cases, having the computer restart due to some stupidly-forced update is not welcome.

Some use their Laptop/Tablet as a second alarm clock (including me). Who are you to dictate how everyone's workflow goes? Some people leave their Laptop/Tablets going through some file converting, or exporting, or rendering, or even more common, downloading process while they do something else. You're sounding so shortsighted with that statement. "It is *never* a best practice to walk away from a PC for more than a few minutes without first saving your work and/or closing open files." Why does Windows need to reboot nearly every time it applies an update? Is Windows still that poorly designed? I thought they re-engineered Windows 8 and 10 to deal with the legacy crap from earlier versions of Windows? Linux can handle in-place updates that don't even require a reboot. The way Microsoft has handled updates with Windows 10 is an unmitigated disaster. Battery runs out half way during the update and you've got a corrupted OS and non-functional computer. If you shut down properly Windows will force, EVEN ON A NEARLY EMPTY BATTERY, an update install. You need to shut down leave a little juice in your battery for later. Let's say you're on a laptop with a battery that's almost empty.
PREVENT CRITICAL UPDATES INSTALL
The tendency to force an install on a shutdown is also highly problematic to file corruption/OS stability. You have to wait for the entire process to continue once you come back to your device because it can't get past the device level encryption. If your device has drive level encryption turned on (which we should nowadays unless you've got your user profile encrypted) you're SOL if there's an unattended reboot.

which usually is the second I receive the update notice because I am deathly afraid of an unattended reboot given how bad Windows 10 is at handling the install process). Luckily I have Windows Pro and was able to hack it so that updates are not force installed (they get installed when _I_ want them to. I've also had documents corrupted because of a night time forced restart. number of documents open) a forced restart can cause you to waste lots of time setting up. If you've got a lot of work open that takes a while to set up (e.g. Enterprise users don't have to suffer this kind of nonsense but everyone else does. It's not a "deal with it and move on" type of problem.
