From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I’m no Windows fanboy but I have to use it quite a lot, at home and at work. I don’t know what versions or settings you guys have set up but I’ve never had a Windows update I can’t postpone, ever.
Some years ago I was working on something, and took a break for dinner. When I got back, Windows had rebooted for updates and I'd lost some work.
I run a server in my house so I set up MECM and haven't had an issue since.
Depends on the settings your IT has set up... Mine will let you put it off, but after a couple times you're left with no choice but to let it run.
That also shocked me. Then again, Windows does suck pretty bad.
I call BS on OP, just another ragebait made-up story.
Forced restarts haven't been a thing for years, unless the OP somehow badly setup their machine.
Me neither, until today...
24h2 is now a forced upgrade
