Forced restart?!

I just lost 5 and a half hours of work because windows forced a restart. It
first asked me whether I wanted to restart now or later; I chose later.
Apparently, windows knows more about what I need than I do. I run an
application, which runs an atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The program
cannot be interrupted, or all is lost. 5.5 hours. Thanks guys.

Is there a way to stop this? Probably, but I shouldn't have to. I told it
not to restart. That should be it. This is completely unacceptable, and
needs to be fixed immediately. Don't ask me to fix it, I shouldn't have to.
I shouldn't have to do anything because this problem should never have
existed.

Am I upset? You cannot imagine.
