    Re: Do not install todays windows & updates

    Don't know if this is related, but my computer decided to install the updates with absolutely no warning last night. I was in the middle of doing some work and my computer logged off and installed the updates. Only lost about half an hours work, but still annoying. Everything is fine though.
