I have Windows 10... no control anymore about it  
M.D.V. 
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Thanks MS for the system tray icon that lets me know that you are going to restart. At least it's an improvement!

Since the current "best" practice is to let your users be your testers, I generally install updates after they've been out for a while and the company has used all their other users to discover and iron out their bugs.
My computers are my tools. A tool that has been broken by an update is a tool I can't use to get my work done. My schedule doesn't get slipped when some company breaks my tools.

I pretty much update when it becomes available.
With Win 10, I make an image before I do an update. I've had too many Win 10 updates that have borked my systems.
With Linux, I just update. In 3 years of Linux updates I've only had one problem. Thunderbird and Apparmor didn't play well after a Thunderbird update. Easy temp fix was to just disable Apparmor for Thunderbird.

I rarely do Microsoft system update after having twice spent days rolling back and reinstalling. Security updates are sometimes the exception. I used to religiously install them as soon as they arrived, but my "hand has been on the burner" too many times.

I started taking Windows Insider preview builds sometime in 2017 to get earlier access to Windows Subsystem for Linux and haven't bothered stopping. The updates mean I reboot my laptop once a week or so & I've had maybe two or three problems with builds. I had one that stopped me using WSL & one that caused occasional GSODs ('green', not 'blue' - that's an Insiders difference). With both, I reverted to the previous week's build & then paused updates until a preview build was released that fixed the problem - took one or two weeks, IIRC.

Apparently Big Sur kills VMware Fusion 11. I'll wait until corporate adds Fusion 12 to the Self Service app.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

In one Windows 10 and one Windows Server to understand if changes can impact customer's machines.
We do not support preview and/or beta as production machine, but we have to garantee that we work on current OS.
so, for example, we have updated to H2 as soon as officially available.

I run Linux, though. At work where we have Windows, the IT department decides when I install the updates.

I wasn't really up for recent windows update because of so much work going on and I couldn't have possibly close all the tabs and windows. Just went away to get myself coffee and Microsoft decided "It was time" to restart my system and update. So I guess I don't get to decide anymore

I already have these settings and windows asks me if I wish to restart and install the updates when I'm I'm busy with the system (sometimes). But I think they "see" us moving away from it and thinks it's time. 
Anyways, I'm waiting to get my hands on my MacBook to see if it's just with windows or other OS are affected as well.

Macbook is no different. You will feel similar to windows over a period of time.
In Both OS, you can choose on when to allow updates and restart device, mostly.

This. Windows 10 decides it needs to install updates, instead of giving me an option to defer.
I wonder how many people have gotten in a bad place because they're shutting down to catch the plane (or whatever) and windows forces an update.

And this might be a day or weeks... sometimes hits the limit of a date to update by.
No check on update stability or compatibility or any such thing.
... falls into conviniece option I believe.

Generally, I want to do it before I shut down for the night to avoid any massive delay when I startup again in the morning...

for me there is one Option missing :
- Install an Update when I am sure that there are no Compatiblity-Problems with installed Programms. For this I don't mean Software which is made by me - I mean 3rd-Party-Products or similar ...
