so maybe silly question but

In regards to Windows 10 and windows automatic updates. When / how does Windows restart your system after an update?

I mean, if you in the middle of working on a spreadsheet or in the middle of playing a game, does the system just restart or does Windows wait until there is some downtime.

Windows 10 Settings allow you to choose the reboot time.

i see. so then does that mean that the default behavior of the update is to restart the system when it wants to? Even if you in the middle of playing a game?
