I still don’t understand how this happens? I’ve never had this happen to me. I’ve have a large renderfarm and many workstations and I have never had windows reboot a machine on me due to a windows update. I turn off auto update and set it to notify me when updates are available. I don’t recall windows ever turning auto update back on without my permission. ---

I think the phenomenon is triggered by the sound of snoring. ---

There is a little update icon that shows up on the taskbar when critical updates are waiting to be installed. See here: [http://www.brucebnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/windows7updateballoon.jpg](http://www.brucebnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/windows7updateballoon.jpg) ---

I’m not sure where your problem lies, but I know that this has NEVER been a problem for me…EVER! There is a setting somewhere that you are missing and it’s causing windows update to reboot your computer. OR, Maybe, possibly, the computer BSOD and then rebooted itself? Check your system logs to see what triggered the computer to reboot. This is the ONLY time my computer will reboot without my permission. (I’m kind of controlling like that! Haha) ---

Will be worse in Windows 10, unless you have the pro version you can’t turn it off!
