When has this ever been the case? Serious question...

My biggest problem with Windows is the automatic restarts. Under no circumstances should my computer restart without me telling it to.

My Surface Pro 4 recently tried to commit suicide by installing a feature update while having 2% battery left, after I explicitly postponed it. They are never going to learn.

If you aren't at the computer and your computer isn't doing anything then Windows sets a usernotpresent flag. Fold@home or something, make your computer do shit.

Hmm. What's the threshold of activity? And is there a way to clear the flag without doing something wasteful like pegging some CPU cores?

There's a long-standing bug with power management which causes the computer to sleep at random intervals. It's something to do with an interaction between power management and USB selective suspend, not sure exactly what triggers it but it's highly annoying. I'll be in a game, literally holding down one of the mouse buttons, and the computer will go to sleep.

I don’t think they’ll add a “please don’t restart for updates forcefully while I have a full screen presentation on projector for my peers” setting either.

[dblohm7]

It's there as a group policy, fyi.

[ilyanep]

I've set the group policy and still come home to find my desktop having rebooted

[p10_user]

You didn’t also change that other group policy that take precedence in certain situations over the one you changed.

[khedoros1]

I thought that was only available in the enterprise versions? My Windows 10 Pro laptop has the group policy editor, but it doesn't seem like it helps.
