Richard, getting Windows 10 to NOT decide it is idle and just reboot to update is possible, but not a simple thing as I remember.

We often have a project that runs for a week at a time, and the computer is anything but idle, the CPU can be darn near maxed out, yet Microsoft sees no mouse or keyboard activity and decides now is a good time to close all programs and just reboot, to update some update to Xbox game center, because Microsoft thinks it is vital to have that update right away, and your data is not important at all.

I often wonder if the software engineers ever really use the software as designed.

They so very much need a real "professional" version. Not one game, no social media, no phone apps, or weather, or news, or the tons of other useless garbage. Just something that treats my computer as workstation and my programs that are running as THE important thing. I don't care one iota about an update to Skype, and I don't want one single byte of ram wasted on it.
