What about his settings for updates? I have mine on manual download/install and have never had any problems.
Per the article:
"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 handled. And when an update says 'this requires a restart' I have always specified that I will restart the machine at a time of my own choosing."
Same here.
I was annoyed with the automatic updates and changed the settings.
It works as advertised
