How often does that happen? I only ask because it doesn't for my pretty much always-on W8.1 laptop. I /choose/ to cold restart it every few weeks, when I remember, but it's not happening at random. No Windows Updates get installed automatically on that machine. I believe though that managing this gets harder on W10/W11 especially if one does not have the "Pro" or "Enterprise" versions of the OS. -- Jeremy Nicoll - my opinions are my own.
