What kills me is that Windows will forcefully power on a sleeping laptop and update it no matter what you do. There is no "off" switch for this.

If you have a gaming or pro laptop in a bag, this is a fire hazard and could kill people.

I don't know how this was ever approved within Microsoft, but it is outright criminal negligence that should see them sued into the ground. Better yet, I'd like to see executives jailed if anyone every dies because of this arrogance.

Microsoft employees, get this through your thick heads: Your updates do not matter as much as my life!
