Windows 10: September 2020 Windows 10 update

Two or three weeks ago I got a notification that Windows 10 needed to restart to load updates, and I was asked if I wanted to "restart now" or "schedule a restart". I scheduled a restart for the early morning hours when I wouldn't be working. The restart did not take place until I was working the following morning, when I was basically forced to stop everything and give Microsoft its way. Five hours later the hard drive was still hammering away but there was no longer a signal to the monitor. I did a hard shut-down and eventually everything calmed down and was back to normal.


Day before yesterday I got the same message about needing to do a restart to update, and once again I scheduled it for the early morning hours. It didn't happen, and late morning I got the update restart pop-up window again, but this time I had the option to postpone for an hour, which I did. An hour later I was given the wait option again, which I clicked, hoping to keep clicking this option until my workday was done. The next time something popped up it was a message saying the computer was going to restart without my permission, to save my work and let it do its thing. No choice. This was at around 12:30 Friday afternoon. I left it overnight to complete the install and when I came back in the office at 11:30 Saturday morning the hard drive was still slammed light flashing and no signal to monitor.


I have lost 11 hours of work because of this. Times are tough enough without Microsoft messing with my work flow. Please tell me how to make this stop.


Thanks

:)
