What's really sad is that Microsoft claims it wants "developers, developers, developers". But when I pay over $1000 for a computer I expect it to work for me. Losing work at any time, for any reason, is a problem.

Losing work because Microsoft "needs to reboot" is unacceptable.

I won't disagree that it's unacceptable.

But in practice you can prevent the automatic reboots happening while you're working with the 'Change Active Hours' feature (just search on that term in settings).

Again, not arguing about the rightness of Microsoft's silly policy here, but if you're using Windows you might as well obviate the issue. You can - I've never had an automatic update & reboot interrupt me.
