I have gone to some trouble to ensure that this doesn't happen. I have set Windows Update to "custom" - meaning that I will decide which updates I need to install, and how the update will be handledSame here.
MS updates ignore the settings and installs anyway.
I thought it was just a mistake.
I've turned OFF automatic updates..

Microsoft is "not guilty," but just to be cute, I'd love to set this as the guy's screen saver (when he's not looking):

Get Linux, Solaris 10 (installs easily on most modern hardware and is well documented), or Mac OSX. Forget Windows.

Moron. If you didn't want auto download and install you shouldn't have configured it that way. What a waste of a tech ping. Should have been an "I'm a dumbass" ping instead.

the person that wrote this is an idiot, first of all he's blaming Microsoft that he didnt save his work, and second hes blaming them that he had automatic updates turned on to not only download the updates but install them also... this guy needs to learn a little personal responsibility.
