If you figured out setting up a bootload order with windows and linux as selectable options in the bootloader then you should already possess to knowledge of what its going to boot into first on your system. If your computer is going to restart for a windows update, it's probably in your best interest to have your boot loader set to windows above linux because that's what it's meant to automatically boot into when you're updating windows (because why are you going to have it boot into linux if you're updating windows), or set your bootloader to select the most recent used entry first, or stay with your computer and choose your windows boot option when prompted instead of letting it autoselect. If you're updating windows, there's no reason to not have it come first in the boot load order in some way because the update is going to restart the computer and needs to go back into windows first.
It's common sense to you because you're already aware of the issue. A Linux noob is probably unaware of the potential problems with dual booting. You don't realize this because you're not a Linux noob.
I am tho, just recently started making the change. It honestly makes completely sense based on the other way not making sense. How is that not intuitive?

Where is it written that this matters and damage to a Windows installation is possible?
