Windows 10: Windows automatically restarted (updates) corrupted my Ubuntu VM losing 4 days of code

I have Windows 10 Pro. I left my house this evening for a couple hours and upon return see Windows restarted. I had left a logged in user session with an Ubuntu virtual machine running that I was using to develop a feature change for the company I work for. Something about the process killed my VM and corrupted the image. I no longer have access to the uncommitted changes meaning I just lost about 4 days of code changes.


This should NEVER HAPPEN.

Can someone from Microsoft check for running virtual machines from VMWare, VirtualBox and their own Hyper-V instances and NOT restart until it is shutdown? Or better yet, LET ME DECIDE WHEN TO RESTART THE SYSTEM.


I am utterly gobsmacked by this kind of behavior. Dumbfounded. Flabbergasted. Appalled. Incensed. By all measure of perception I am bamboozled.
