another solution (solely to the updating problem) would be to disable automaitc updates, no?

Well, in a sense. I'd still want automatic updates, but what I don't want is it to automatically force the computer to restart.

This is possible to turn off in Windows, but requires fiddling with the registry.

I just realised that my original post wasn't clear - my computer RESTARTED in the middle of my game. Hence my frustration :).
