How Windows 10 will prevent updates from randomly rebooting your PC: machine learning

One of Windows 10's biggest annoyances is the aggressive way it pushes out updates. The operating system has a nasty habit of installing new updates while you're in the middle of using your PC, which can slow down your computer and cascade into forced, random reboots in the middle of the day--woe unto whatever you were working on. Microsoft responded to complaints by adding optional Snooze and Active Hours features that help users delay Windows Updates for more convenient times, but it's still an issue. The next big Windows 10 release could--could--cure the headaches by using machine learning to predict when to update your PC. Microsoft announced Preview Builds 17723 and 18204 for Windows 10 Insiders late Wednesday.
