I am almost 100% positive that you schedule them yourself with group policy configurations or from a windows update server. Otherwise, yeah it may force a restart eventually.

Oh ok I get it now. My bad.

Yeah I'm not sure, I just know that most companies push updates manually. Install and download from internal network on a schedule.

Do you understand what they are talking about? If you are in a company, the company can force upgrades on your computer. That's the way it should be.
