Stop Windows Update from automatically shutdown my running programs and RESTART my PC!!

I have told you over and over on Feedback to never ever go and RESTART my computer and shut down my running applications while I am just out for a short while. I would like you to contact the correc...

LPJ26  Hi

Of course, this is not a correct solution, but if you really need to have the computer turned on and open programs, e.g. at night, it is enough that you pause the update for 7 days, but the next day you resume the update at a time when the computer can be restarted and turned on the power will allow you to properly implement updates, certainly as you pause the updates will not automatically restart in this way you can easily control this problem:)

Thank you, I will give that a try and see if it works in the long run. But then again, if you click on the Advanced Options button, there inside you find the settings stating that you don't want to be bothered to get up to date and active hours and then notify me when an update is available, where I have unticked them all and it still asked the ghost in my room if I want to restart and then it goes and restart anyway. So that does not make any sense and the buttons are not working properly so I hope that too can get fixed.

    I expected you to be able to properly configure the update settings, but only pausing ensures that the computer will not restart, but you should not pause updates all the time (only when you think it is necessary.)

    Good luck

      Yes, you are right - I am an very old MCSE Qualified with 26 years of IT & Accounting Experience, hipper intelligent - and not that old - so I know how to setup those settings. So that's what I am trying to tell you, its not working the way it says. It is just one of hundreds of Microsoft's Broken Windows. This Dev Built is full of mistakes that I can't find the time to report each and everyone of them on Feedback as I am not sure they read and fix it. The complete operating system is broken and not working that they should have never called it a Windows 11. I would have wiped it off the table and start totally keeping me busy delivering a stable operating system to the world as to repatch the entire system for decades long and have people pay for it. What I have in mind is to write code once and when it come to the client it cannot be changed by anyone else than Microsoft so nobody can modify it, it can never brake or malfunction and hackers & virus creators would then need something else to waste their time.

        If you're in Insider, you're already helping to improve Windows, and diagnostic data is automatically passed to Microsoft and processed by AI, so you don't analyze individual tickets from around the world

        Thank you for being with us 🙂
