- cptskippy 8y agoNo, it's still your responsibility. If your computer reboots to apply an update when you don't want it to, it's because you failed in your responsibility to act as a good citizen of the internet. Wait what?! Yes that's right, you're a dick. The automatic update system Microsoft implemented was because people weren't updating their computers regularly and they were vulnerable to attacks that made them part of botnets that attacked other people on the internet. So if your system automatically updated itself it's because you connected it to the internet. If your system automatically rebooted itself, it's because you didn't reboot when it asked you to do so multiple times. Thus you are a dick head for not maintain your system at the expense of everyone else on the internet.
