    … and it does handle this during those periods. unless you tell it not to. or set the non working hours wrong.

      I’ve frequently seen Windows ignore that setting and force the restart while the system is actively being used

      The mega corp neither needs or deserves your defense. They’ve fucked up the update system with Windows 10 and it’s not gotten any better since then.

        Seconding this, I can’t think of a time that I’ve actually had windows respect my configured update window.

        I’d also like to point out how annoying it is that manually hitting the update button doesn’t seem to do anything. If I hit the button I want to dedicate the full system resources to updating right now, not just keep doing what it was doing but add a skinny thing.
