When you think you have set up all group policies the right way to stop automatic updates and reboots, but then find out that your entire weekend measurement was ruined by Win11 rebooting in the middle of it.

@StripeyYena i somehow try to live with it. When we plan some longer experimental session, I pause the updates for few weeks. Once that is done, update and restart. Pause again.

@prema Which is completely justified, but this is a big hunk of machinery that runs 24/7 and is operated by a number of people, so all I really want is a button that says "Don't fuck around until I tell you to update!" like in the olden days...

@StripeyYena yes, i have the same problem with users i am trying to convince them to check and in case postpone the updates, or do the whole routine themselves.
Possibly i will start making big motivational posters: “Did you check the Windows Updates?”
Also:
“Write into the instrument log book”

@StripeyYena @prema forget about it, Microslop completely fucked up their reputation with this big pile of stinking shit.
