Reboot after updates
Any thoughts on recent changes to the update process? I use my PC to
monitor equipment I have connected via custom interfaces. I wrote my own software to perform the monitoring and reporting. After installing Windows 10, all that continued to work well. When updates became available, they would get downloaded and installed automatically, but the required reboot would hold off until I told it to go ahead. That way, I could gracefully shut down my software, restart, and then restart my software. However, the anniversary update changed things. I now walk into my office and find the PC has restarted and is waiting for me to log in. The equipment I am monitoring has gone unmonitored for hours. (Fortuneately, this is not a critical problem - ie, no safety issues - just inconvenience). I found an option that tells the system to "securely save my login credentials and automatically login after an update" and enabled it. I then set up my software to automatically start upon login. Last night was the first update since I did that and everything seems OK. The screen seemed to be waiting for me to login, but when I did so, my software was already running. I am assume that the automatic login was successful and that the screen displayed when I arrived was just a "lock" screen. I guess I'm OK with all this, but it bothers me that it changes without any notice and I am left to scramble up a quick fix. Does anyone have a better way to handle this? I like to keep up to date with fixes (especially security fixes) but I hate not knowing how my own PC will operate tomorrow. The old method of letting me hold off updates until I told it to go ahead was much better for me. Pat |
