The user did authorize it by having automatic updates turned on. To use the term crashing is disingenuous. 90% of the updates I have received haven't required

  > The user did authorize it by having automatic updates turned on. That is a tenuous description of "authorization." The user is asked once when they set up their computer whether automatic updates should be enabled and the downsides are not outlined. It is strongly "recommended." On the plus side, Windows 8 is handling it much better.

    Also I didn't mention the updates that require reboots are only released once a month. From here http://blogs.msdn.com/b/b8/archive/2011/11/14/minimizing-restarts-after-automatic-updating-in-windows-update.aspx http://blogs.msdn.com/b/b8/archive/2011/11/14/minimizing-res... "WU will consolidate all the restarts in a month, synchronizing with the monthly security release. This means that your PC will only restart when security updates are installed and require a restart. With this improvement, it does not matter when updates that require restarts are released in a month, since these restarts will wait till the security release. Since security updates are released in a single batch on the second Tuesday of every month, you are then getting essentially one restart a month."
