One thing this does not fix: there is no way to use View->Update->PDF
to view changes while the previous version of the document is open in
Reader. Again, I think the fault lies with Windows: while you're
displaying the previous version, Windows puts a read lock on the file
in the temp directory, so the updated version (which uses the same
file name) cannot overwrite it.
Is this workaround useful for this situation?

Improved PDF viewing
This tweak makes the View PDF (pdflatex) command open the viewer window
automatically and avoids the error message that occurs if you invoke
View PDF (pdflatex) with the opened reader. Other viewer windows will
remain unaffected.
[...]
This will allow you to alter the document and then see the changed
version with View->PDF (pdflatex), without manually closing the previous
version. View->Update->PDF (pdflatex) still won't work (fails silently,
old version continues to display in reader), but I don't see that as a
problem.
