The ABSOLUTE WORST part of Windows 10 is that the non-enterprise versions will automatically reboot to apply updates.  I've lost countless hours of work and research due to this 'feature'.  While I can understand the reason for it, I felt that the Windows 7 alternative of downloading updates but letting *ME* choose when to apply them was reasonable.  Having my OS reboot in the middle of the night when I haven't necessarily saved my browser tabs, documents, programs, code in progress, notes, work in terminal windows on other systems, etc. has got to be the absolute stupidest 'feature' ever shoved into an OS.  The best way I've found to get around this is to use a program that continually changes the "active hours" time slot so windows always thinks that the computer is active.
