It also gives you the option of re-trying the update "tonight" which takes up WAY too much of my cognitive load. "Tonight" doesn't appear to be configurable, or even well-defined, although an obscure knowledge-base article tells me it's between "2:00 and 5:00 a.m", which is nothing like my expectation of what "tonight" means. Does that run if my laptop is sleeping? What about if it needs to reboot? I really should know the answers to these questions ...
- ams6110 9y agoPretty sure that "tonight" just dismisses the prompt until "tonight" at which point you'll see it again, it doesn't irrevocably schedule the update for "tonight."
- oneeyedpigeon 9y agoI think you're probably right which, given that "tonight" means between 02:00 and 05:00, explains why I never get around to applying those updates.

- kijin 9y agoWindows does sometimes wake up a laptop to apply updates and put it back to sleep afterwards. This can be rather dangerous if your laptop is stuck in a backpack with no airflow on a hot day.
- vezycash 9y agoIt's not only updates that do that. All the HP laptops I've used wake up from sleep in my bag while I'm moving. The laptop would be hot enough to toast bread when I pull it out.
