You are well aware that the default settings in AU would cause the computer
to reboot therefore it's your own fault for not backing up your work prior to
walking away from your computer.

You're making an unreasonable and unjustified assumption for which you have no evidence. (Well, actually, you're making /two/ unreasonable and unwarranted assumptions for which you have no evidence, but I'm willing to bet that you can't figure out what either of them are.)


It is common practice to back up your work as you go on the assumption tha
something could always go wrong, like electricity blackout, glitch in the
software you're using etc. It only takes a few seconds to save the current
project you're working on, but could take many hours to redo the same. Your
choice.

This is not your first update month and it won't be your last update month.
Suggest you look at resetting your WU settings and getting in the habit of
backing up your work as you go. This will avoid the problem next cycle of
updates.

This is a middle finger salute for the folks at Microsoft. I walked away
from my computer for about 30 minutes. When I came back, the computer had
rebooted because of an automatic update. I lost about two hours of work.
