Not a problem for me, because I am using Win8.1, but... I run simulation/optimizations for bots that trade forex. Basically trying different combinations/permutations in their parameters, and getting anything between 25 and 1500 results so I can select the optimum result/configuration. This saves time, because I don't have to run one-set-at-a-time-for-30-mins. Those optimizations can be running for days. I have literally gone away for a weekend and on Monday it was still running the simulation(s). There is nothing 'active' at that time, 'just a software running'. If the PC restarts, all the work is gone, and optimization needs to begin all over. I can fear that it wouldn't be the only case that a Win10 user would be impacted by a forced restart. I do understand Microsoft's standpoint, but as the mighty Steve Gibson says (paraphrasing), I want the operating system to NOT take initiatives :)

Aye, I've had long-running performance analysis experiments running against SQL Server killed because the dev machine orchestrating the tests was rebooted without warning. That was some time after the normal "patch Tuesday" window. IIRC it was due to an update in Flash for Edge. A feature I don't use in any browser in a browser that I don't use (but can't uninstall or otherwise disable) caused a delay to my work. I was not best pleased. "Windows Subsystem for Linux" amuses me. A tool for when you want Linux, but would feel lost without random reboots!
