Stop W10 updates - possible solution
-
So my work PC rebooted some time in the middle of the night, and I'd forgotten to save a notepad file with some notes, and another app that contains my "engineering log notes". Needless to say, those edits (fortunately minor) were lost. My coworker has been using this for a month now, and hasn't had a single reboot from a Windows update: Disable Windows 10 Automatic Updates with Win Update Stop | NoVirusThanks[^] Just installed it, looking forward to giving Microsoft the big one finger salute and taking control of when I want it to do updates.

My way of disabling Mickeysoft updates even saved me from being hijacked to Win 10 in the first place.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats. His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

I've made the observation just a few days ago somewhere here in the lounge that the problem isn't in stopping updates...it's stopping the unwanted reboots. Subtle, but oh-so-important difference. I use WSUS to control what updates get offered to my systems, and I have my systems set up to prompt me when they find something new (nothing gets installed automatically). But once an update is installed and is waiting to reboot - you're still at MS's mercy. It doesn't sound like this particular utility is making the claim it can do anything to prevent the reboot. My current plan is to use some version of Windows Server as my next development VM. I've never had a server OS reboot unexpectedly, from NT 4 onward (as opposed to client OSes). Server versions will wait patiently for weeks and months.

I use onenote attached to my onedrive cloud account. saves work automatically as you type and it is saved to the cloud and not my stupid laptop. I can also share workbooks/sections with other people if I want, all independent of my laptop/workstation. completely portable too. no need for stupid ass text apps, etc.

Hmm. I save all documents and exit out of all important apps (Visual Studio, Word, etc.) before I leave for the day. The same thing happens at home when I'm done with the laptop for the evening. Both of these help ensure that power loss crashes are less likely to bork an open file. They also allow my automated nightly backups unfettered access. This lets my Microsoft Updates run wild and free, just like nature intended. ;P

That and Ctrl+Shift+S (Save All) in Visual Studio.

I use OneNote as well. The sync is super useful.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question? The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism. Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???
