The team that implemented automatic updates in windows need to be beaten with a keyboard.

They need to be fired.
With a cannon.

They must be forced to create a new windows update every day and apply it to their working machines. The updates will be set to kick in at a cryptographically randomized time. If they fail the daily quota they will be forced to say sorry while crying until an AI programmed in Windows and taking the updates concludes that their apology is sincere. If it's down due to updates, they will just have to keep crying.

How about users who don't take care of their updates frequently need taking out back and shooting?

@seraphimsystems right, it's the user's fault their systems like to restart on their own and apply updates.

@Hastouki yes, keep the critical updates and security patches up to date at times convenient to yourself or the system will protect you from your own stupidity and us from botnets.

@seraphimsystems I do, on systems that make it obvious when there are critical updates that don't treat me like I'm a moron and automatically handle critical matters at the least convenient times. You're missing the point here.
