Check it out. The word is in there. No special characters or tricks. Just an s at the end and his magic Mick code hasn't stopped it.

Yeah, mine popped up a message this morning, saying it needs to reboot. I scheduled it for this afternoon, just before I get home from work.
If you have Win10 Pro (Instead of Home), it lets you schedule them.
But yeah, that feature should be in all tiers... Forcing reboots on people without at least giving the chance to postpone... Not good.

They are both Windows 10 Pro 1607 and scheduling is not an option.

Hmm, maybe the Australian version is set up differently... Or maybe you need to turn that feature on somewhere. I know mine never reboots without asking me first.
Well, unless I ignore the reboot for a few days... Then it'll just do it.

Can you run winver and let me know what the version is you are running?
Mine says Version 1607 (OS Build 14393.222).

Umm, version 6.1, aka Win7.... I'm at work

Version 1607 is the Anniversary Update version (globally).

At one point in time I considering writing a tray app I'd leave running all the time whose only purpose in life would be to intercept WM_SHUTDOWN / WM_QUERYENDESSION / whatever it's called, and force it to abort - leaving me in charge to decide when to reboot, no matter what.
The problem is that mine would never be guaranteed to be first app to get that message, and other running apps might have started shutting down already (those I might want to keep running). So, not a practical solution.
It's obvious Microsoft can't do this right. Can someone brighter than I am come up with a working solution?

Would it be possible to create a dos or powershell script that enables Windows Update Service, checks for updates, installs them, and then disables WUS? Tie it to a destop or start menu icon and do updates on your terms...?
|
|
|
|
|
The problem with manually triggered updates is that you then start postponing installation for a few days...then weeks...then months.
I still want the updates to be installed as soon as my system detects they're available - it's the following reboot I want to do on my own schedule.

You might be able to do something with Windows Update Notifier[^]. The code appears to be available to create a solution from.

Don't even know where to look for that stuff. I know it's a problem when my account no longer works.

Unless you're already running another very long MS Update, like Xamarin, or SSMS, when it reboots, why is a reboot such a catastrophe?

Windows 10 updates are driving me insane. Previously I had several hours wasted, once in front of a potential client, while I waited for updates to complete.
Today Microsoft excelled themselves (oh dear, unintentional pun).
While my PC was in the middle of building a very large database the computer shut down and started doing an update. Result, half an hour later I logged back in to find a totally corrupted database. Worse than that, it had also corrupted the system database and now I have to rebuild everything.
Yes I did get a notification to tell me a restart was scheduled. But it did say it would happen in the wee small hours when the PC would not be in use. I suppose 1800 hours in Malaysia equates to 0300 in California. Why don't they use PC time for the restarts I wonder?
Bah!!!
Now where did I out that Linux disc?
We're philosophical about power outages here. A.C. come, A.C. go.

What ? Since when does the computer decide when a restart has to be done ?
