I hate it when that happens.
My Win10 VM at work periodically disappears from my RDP connection (disconnects me, logs me out, loads updates, and reboots) without my approval. Very annoying, since I sometimes have a fair amount of context on the desktop from day to day.
I've had to stop using Win10 for anything that might have to run overnight. Luckily the things I have to run overnight will also run on my Win7 VM. Other than the Win10 compatibility tests...
Most of what I do that's important, I now do on Linux. Windows is relegated to transient tasks that, if they die when I'm not looking, I don't lose significant context.
It's really a shame -- only 5 years ago I was using Windows as my primary desktop environment at work (had done so for the prior 8 years) and it was fine. That's just a fond but dimmer-every-year memory.

Sadly that’s the case with many of us- we were perfecly satisfied with windows- enjoyed using it. learned a lot about it, customized it to our liking, controlled our own updates etc- then all of a sudden we get offered what really amounts to a virus almost- that restricts our control- and many of us reluctantly moved over to linux, usually in dual boot- then after a few months or so thought ‘Meh, linux aint so bad’
But really, it’s like driving your favorite gasoline powered, powerful car model for 20 years or more, then being told one day that you can no longer get that model and must now drive an electric hybrid
