This isn’t what the dialog says verbatim, but if you read between the lines this is what they are really telling you.
Note to Microsoft: My computer is a tool, which I use for many things. Running Windows is simply means to that end, not an end in itself.

Programming Language for Games
Game developer Jon Blow is making a programming language just for games. Why is he doing this, and what will it mean for game development?
Stupid Windows.
And, of course, if you don’t keep telling it not to reboot, it eventually does so anyway.
FPOS.
Pretty much the lesson I’ve been going by for awhile now: Don’t upgrade unless you need to. As long as everything works fine, I’m happy.
My solution – don’t close the first window that pops up, because that one won’t trigger an auto-reboot. Instead, click on its upper left corner, and drag it down to the lower right corner of the screen. You’ll never see it again. Of course, it’ll still show up in the Taskbar, and I haven’t figured out yet what to do about that, but this lets me delay the reboot for a couple of weeks (at which point Windows starts acting screwy for whatever reason and I have to reboot anyway).
My version will restart in 5 minutes automatically if it doesn’t get a response…
My computer reboots itself at 3 AM automatically if there’s a new update. Quite annoying if I didn’t know it would be doing that before going to bed.
This was a problem for me until I found the switch that changes it from automatic to manual.
In college, one of my professors had the bad fortune of having his laptop updated right before a lecture.
For all of that lecture, a full hour, that little window would pop up. He would close it and return to his lecture. And then, two or three slides later, there was that window again.
I’ve totally forgotten what the lecture was supposed to be about…
