For a PC with anyone as a user you should never allow updates except out of hours.
I have seen people lose work...important work because Microsoft decided to restart the computer after installing updates.
I have also seen updates that fail and the PC needs intervention to roll back...taking several hours of frustration.
Those are my concerns for uncontrolled updates, but even for phones you get the likes of Apple rolling out patches that deliberately slow machines down to mitigate battery life warranties....how wonderful.
