MS should 1st find right time to run update 🙂
I am pretty sure not everyone has almighty CPUs and SSDs.

Haha, to fix something so broken it needs freggin skynet. I love windows 10 in almost every other way, but the update system is a mess.

It's amazing that they still don't give you an option to manually restart whenever you want. What if I can't have my computer restarting whenever it wants? What if I'm rendering something and need it up for 4 days or 2 weeks?

What i dont like is how they are hiding absolutely every option under the sun regarding customisation or configuration of the system.
But hey, lets install a load of free crappy games on the main start menu!!!

This is the last thing they need to tinker with.
Windows 10 updates, in general, are really a sore spot with the OS release. The crap began with Windows 8 and has been with us since.
Here are some things Microsoft (MS) should address prior to determining when they should auto-reboot your PC:
Turn off sleep during updates. Why does the PC go to sleep in the middle of long updates? If MS is "smart" enough to code something to predict a reboot time, why can't they do something like "If OS update, then turn sleep mode off"?
Improve the install process. Fix the problem with updates that often fail (with in-place upgrades from the Microsoft web site or using the media creation tool to repair or performing a clean re-install - all outside of the regular update operation - being the only fixes)?
Improve downloads. Provide more servers (and bandwidth to them) for providing windows updates so that a 500MB update doesn't take 10 minutes to download? Why is downloading data from Windows update servers so slow!!?
Improve feedback to users. Instead of giving me a black screen during installation after a non-video-related Windows-update-related reboot, provide me with information on the progress of the update? Numerous times after an update-related reboot, I've been presented with minutes of a black screen followed by some progress circle and then the login screen. Why minutes of a black screen. Let me know something is happening. Also, the feedback during the Windows regular Window updates is terrible often going from 0% and jumping to 100% complete after many minutes with no intermediate progress displayed in between?
"Predicting" an automated reboot time is the last thing needed with Windows updates and seems almost irresponsible!

As long as they continue to provide the group policy settings so that I update and restart whenever I want and give me the options to opt-out of training their AI for free, I'm okay with this. That said, if they don't allow us to opt-out; Windows is not freeware, it is a paid product, if Microsoft wants to force me to train their AI for free, then I want something in return.

This is such a hard fail after all... no damn AI needed, just ask the user for a click of permission before the OS checks, downloads, installs, or reboots for updates. It's a f'ing simple as that. Everything else is just hot air out of some technical marketing team's ass.
