    @Bryce - Thanks. I think the key issue is that people need to stop treating Win 10 behaviors the same way as Win 7/8 and previous OSes. Why? MS is doing a lot of PUSHes without asking and the predictability of what can happen is changing a lot more than before.

  • @Bryce The -r will trigger a restart, correct? So we can / should use -t and -f? whats the strategy here?

    @AlexS the -f I think ignores applications that delay reboot, and is not directly on topic to the issue of rebooting without installing updates.
