I had what I thought was a complete system crash last night while playing
Diablo IV, making me worry my workaround of limiting the game's framerate
wasn't as effective as I thought. Then I realized this was one of those insane
reboots Windows 10 will arbitrarily execute to apply an update. I know there are
third-party tools to fight this, but it doesn't seem right to require
extraordinary effort to take control of such a situation. I'm frustrated by
this, though not as much as I would have been if the reboot came just minutes
earlier, which would have ruined my participation taking down the World Boss.

Follow-up
I've always heard these stories, but never have had it happen to me (of course I also shut down my PC and it seems like a lot of people don't). I thought all of the update issues were relegated to Win 10 Home edition where you had to jump through hoops to manage it. Assuming you're running Pro it should be easy to control update behavior through the Windows update settings. Worst case scenario it should give you a popup warning a reboot is imminent.
