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.
Control S is your friend. I'm still on windows 7, no real want to move to windows 10, and it doesn't auto restart. Our windows 10 at work does auto restart though, but they give you a 20 min warning. Bloody annoying when you are half way through a presentation.
