Windows 10: After windows update. Please let me restart when i'm ready!!!!

This seems to be a common thread.

I was going to comment on a previous post, but most people seem to have given up resolving the matter, and the thread has expired.


I don't have problems with windows downloading the latest software to ensure that bugs are eliminated, and security is boosted, but why oh why does windows have to restart WITHOUT asking!!!! Every few weeks, I return to work to find that ALL of my apps and software have been force closed, and any unsaved work is LOST!!!!!! It is excruciating.


Regardless of how many adjustments i make under settings, regardless of how many tech hacks i look for, it will continue to restart my machine without permission after windows has installed some updates.


Please windows.... i don't care if you force my computer to download updates.... I don't care if an oversized dialogue box appears telling me to restart my computer..... but can you PLEASE give me control to restart my computer when I AM READY???... At least give us the opportunity to close down our apps and save our work first!!!!


I don't think its an unreasonable request??

Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.

Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Best regards.


And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.

 

Intel Readies P55 Chipset B3 Stepping Update

Intel's is readying a hardware update for its P55 Express chipset, currently the only core-logic for the company's brand new socket LGA-1156 processor platform. The new B3 stepping of the P55 PCH will bring with it a little more than new MM number and S-spec numbers. A list of changes is as follows:

• New MM number and S-spec numbers for the converted products;
• Firmware and minor BIOS updates are required with the conversion;
• Processor MRC/microcode update required to enable future processors;
• Recommended storage driver upgrade from Intel MSM 8.9 to Intel RST 9.5.

Although it is listed that the MRC update enables 'future processors', Intel, in a statement issued to X-bit labs assured that the current B2 stepping of the chipset (found on current socket LGA-1156 motherboards) does not leave out support for any of Intel's new LGA-1156 processors that are slated for release in the very near future. The dual-core "Clarkale" 32 nm processor will be supported by both B2 and B3 steppings of the chipset.

P55 B3 stepping is pin-identical to P55 B2, and hence motherboard vendors will not have to come up with new designs. Sampling of the new stepping began as early as on October 02, 2009, and it is scheduled for shipment to manufacturers by the 7th of December, 2009. P55 is the performance core-logic for the LGA-1156 platform. It supports Core i5 and Core i7 "Lynnfield" processors with discrete graphics.
