Have you heard about the latest Barbie?
"Divorced Barbie" - she comes with all Ken's stuff!

Not me, but my brother (died a few years ago) had a great collection, many still in their original boxes. I think his grandson inherited them.

It indeed does a wonderful job - after the salmon is dead.

Temporary cure, still not bacon.
Hmmmmz, bacon.

Indeed, I always thought there was something fishy about that. But done properly, they do kipper long time. I tend to overdo mine, usually herring on the side of caution. I'll get my coat now. In fact it's raining, so I'll get my mac-kerel.

So my work PC rebooted some time in the middle of the night, and I'd forgotten to save a notepad file with some notes, and another app that contains my "engineering log notes". Needless to say, those edits (fortunately minor) were lost.
My coworker has been using this for a month now, and hasn't had a single reboot from a Windows update:
Disable Windows 10 Automatic Updates with Win Update Stop | NoVirusThanks[^]
Just installed it, looking forward to giving Microsoft the big one finger salute and taking control of when I want it to do updates.

A better solution: use an application that doesn't lose your unsaved work if the computer restarts.

I use onenote attached to my onedrive cloud account. saves work automatically as you type and it is saved to the cloud and not my stupid laptop.
I can also share workbooks/sections with other people if I want, all independent of my laptop/workstation. completely portable too.
no need for stupid ass text apps, etc.

I use OneNote as well. The sync is super useful.

My way of disabling Mickeysoft updates even saved me from being hijacked to Win 10 in the first place.

You are a pessimist.
I'm an optimist and so I'm very happy when it does not become much worse after the update
It does not solve my Problem, but it answers my question

I've made the observation just a few days ago somewhere here in the lounge that the problem isn't in stopping updates...it's stopping the unwanted reboots. Subtle, but oh-so-important difference.
I use WSUS to control what updates get offered to my systems, and I have my systems set up to prompt me when they find something new (nothing gets installed automatically). But once an update is installed and is waiting to reboot - you're still at MS's mercy. It doesn't sound like this particular utility is making the claim it can do anything to prevent the reboot.
My current plan is to use some version of Windows Server as my next development VM. I've never had a server OS reboot unexpectedly, from NT 4 onward (as opposed to client OSes). Server versions will wait patiently for weeks and months.
