Windows 7 Updates auto restart without notice
Usually Windows is OK about notifying you but for this last update I had 5 different people all call me VERY upset that they had lost important work because Windows Updates just hijacked their computer and started installing and then restarted WITHOUT NOTICE.
I like the Auto install feature to ensure that updates aren't missed but really???? Why does Microsoft have to act like the very thing it is trying to prevent and take over your computer without your permission.
At the very least if there is a user logged in their should be a window that REQUIRES a "yes" click before an auto-restart is performed.
I have a solution to prevent this (below) but really it SHOULD be by default for everyone, not requiring specific knowledge of a policy to be set. My father has now lost part of his book he was writing (in Word) that he will never get back because of Microsoft's hijacking.
I have the Group Policy Set "No auto restarts when users are logged in" but I am running Windows 7 Professional and it isn't so easy with the other versions.
For those who don't have Windows 7 Pro/Ultimate to run gpedit.msc - Computer Config-Admin templates-Windows Components-Windows Update you can use the following - save in Notepad and rename to a something.reg file and double click.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

Hi lforbes,
I am sorry to hear about the inconvenience you have encountered with Windows Update.
Windows Update will remind you if you need to restart your PC to continue installing an update and give you the opportunity to "restart now" or give you the option to postpone the restart. If you're away from your PC for an extended period of time, you may find that it will automatically restart your PC. Windows does this to help make sure all the latest security and other updates are applied in a timely manner, to help keep your PC more secure with little effort for you.
If you're a system administrator and want to control restart behavior, you can use group policy to prevent automatic restarts from occurring anytime an administrator is logged on.
Also, you can change how Windows Update installed the updates. To do so:
1. Go to Control Panel -> All Control Panel Items -> Windows Update -> Change settings (on the left pane).
2. Change the Windows Update settings to "Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them".
3. Click OK.
For more information, please refer to:
Windows Update Frequently Asked Questions
Change how Windows installs or notifies you about updates
Regarding the lost Word files, you can refer to the following knowledge base (KB) articles and see if the file can be recovered:
How to recover a lost file in Word 2007 or in Word 2003
How to recover a lost Word document
For more information about the Word file recovery issue, you can contact Microsoft Office Support directly.

The fact of the matter is that this should never happen. Forcing a restart, without allowing the user to save opened work, is not acceptable behavior for an operating system. Yet another Microsoft "lets leave everything on regardless of the affect it will have because we know better than our users" attitude.
Oh, I see, it is a feature, not a bug.. Guys (and Linda Yan), you can't be serious, "yes, it restarts because it is very important to install security updates". I really liked Windows 7 but today was the SECOND time that I lost very important work and almost 1 hour work. It also happened to at least 2 of my friends in the recent months. Yes, I left my computer: sorry to not to watch it every minutes, sorry to have a dinner. Yes, I should have changed this option at Control Panel, but why is it the default option? Many people don't even know what Control Panel is. Who was the programmer who invented this? I really hope he doesn't work at Microsoft anymore. How could you possibly think that installing security updates is more important that saving important work? What kind of sick idea is to restart an operating system without permission? I can think of much worse situations than mine was now. Some people even can lost his job because of this.
My computer decided to restart while I was playing a game!
This "feature" doesn't help security, because it just drives people to turn off Automatic Updates to prevent this from ever happening again. Everyone I know and every computer I own has automatic updates turned off because of this.
Another benefit of turning off automatic updates is that you never have to wait for a unexpected "Installing updates..." when you shut down.
Maybe Windows could display reminders "Don't forget to install your updates!" instead of doing things automatically.
This just happened to me. I walked away from my computer for 30 seconds, and when I come back the computer is rebooting. The word document I had been editing for the last hour lost all changes. Because Word has technically not crashed, it has happily deleted my changes and any auto-recovery information.
When I press the reboot button on my computer in normal circumstances, Word comes up with a prompt asking me if I want to save changes, and DOES NOT continue with the reboot process until I answer this question. This is correct behavior.
Why is it that when windows decides to restart the computer automatically to update, it gets to override the save prompt? If anything, this is the time NOT to override this prompt, because the user, unaware the computer wants to reboot, may have stepped away for a second? This is unacceptable behavior, under any circumstances. The user's work overrides EVERY OTHER CONCERN. Microsoft, get your priorities straight!
I don't want to install updates manually. I understand the importance of updates being installed automatically. If I don't use auto-update I will never update. I don't mind the nag screen to reboot. It's understandable. But when I am trying to get work done I will postpone the updating. I shouldn't have to risk losing work because of this.
Please, fix this. I'm about to rage and buy something Apple.
This just happend to me at work, on the "new fancy" computers whit windows 7, and since i have customers at work that can get me away from the computer for more than 10 minutes at a time if not longer, just working on a normal budget whit a few hundred rows of numbers.. allways fun to write those again and spend a hour or so calculating and double checking...
So what could go wrong went wrong, i got distracted by a customer, then i guess windows updater decided it needed to install a important update or something, more important than what im actualy working on and restart, of corse i didnt lose everything, apparently office 2007 has some recovery featore or something so i only lost a hour or so of work.
anyway the computers are locked in a "user" that cant change any administrator settings, so woopdedo, if the updater shows up, thers nothing i can do but press save and restart.
I know this wouldnt be a issue if my work had a actual "it" guy, but the default settings whit updates from microsoft shouldnt be set to force restart....
if windows was made from googles search engine result then it would set default on this matter to NOT RESTART AT ALL, at best maybe show a tiny text bubble suggesting it be a good idea to restart.
Important updates arnt that time critical, a hacker wont suddenly take over my computer between the important update to when i could manualy restart after seeing a message about a important update.
And if they were time critical then why do i see newspaper articles about virus this and that and not patched yet and holes in this and that.
The day i get hacked between the time i get a update to when i restart, OR at the same time my computer blows up OR i slip on a banana and die, ill donate my computer to microsoft for security.studdy... Id say the chances are about equal. (EULA : I take no responsibility if i dont slip on the banana because it wasnt slippery, but i still managed to die from the event).
Same thing just happened here. Usually it ask me if I would postpone the restart but this time I got no notifications at all. So I would suppose there is some type of bug here since I am supposed to get a notice right? Does the prompt show in front of all windows of all programs? Did it just show up while I couldn't see it?
And how should the auto restart have higher priority than the save prompt? I am sitting here and it happened WHILE I was working and I saw the save prompts and before I hit yes the program was already terminated. I watched the whole process but there was NOTHING I could do to stop it. And to make matter worse I was using notepad so no autosave or restore files at all.
Seriously if this has been a problem since 2010 why hasn't someone working on win7 fixed it.
--> Iforbes: unfortunately I don't think your code is working on Home Premium. it says something like I can't insert values other than binary. Not sure if I did the right thing though. But thanks anyways.
Ouch, I've been burned by that too. Now I always set the "No auto-restart with logged on users for scheduled automatic updates installations" local GPO setting in Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Update. So far I haven't run into any more auto-restart issues, but now I am a slacker about restarting...

Hi friend,
You can easily recover word files.These files get corrupted very easily.Sometimes you may accidentally deleted the word files along with unwanted files,sometimes due to virus attacks the files get corrupted,due to hard drive corruption, power shutdowns and many other reasons.It all such cases word file recovery is possible by using a good file recovery software. Word file recovery software supports files from different file formats and also supports all versions of Windows operating system.You can easily download the free trial version of word file recovery software.
I can NOT beleive that people are actually talking about recovering files!! How about Microsoft not rebooting the computer (lets fix the problem, not the symptom). I could have sworn that I had the auto update settings to ask me, but I was just working along with at least a dozen things open, not the least of which were 4 or 5 CAD dwgs. Suddenly (WHILE I WAS TYPING AND WORKING) it just systematically shut down everything in front of my eyes. Didn't ask, it wasn't idle - it just shut me down. I can NOT believe that they would program something so STUPID !!!!!! I have lost HOURS of valuable work --- MS, maybe you should reimburse me!! I have NEVER seen anything like this before. No warning, no notice, no nothing - just shut down. UNHAPPY CAMPER.
Yes just lost two hours of Photoshop work and this now effects the jobs future. Plus because I was in Photoshop I was in a screen mode where I could not see any warnings as with previous statements. The whole point a 'WARNING' should not exist anyway.
Yes up dates are important but just do this processes when I command a shut down.
I was just finishing off an hour's worth of email writing in Windows Live Mail '11 to be kicked out of my work losing the whole message. After reboot, I naively went to the drafts folder thinking "ha, there's no way I'll have lost that work, it'll have been saved in drafts..." Wrong.
I was also wrong about hoping the 12 SQL Scripts I had open in SQL Management Studio would be recovered. And the C# files I had open in VS 2010.
Words fail me. This is akin to the knee jerk reaction resulting in the security theatre surrounding air travel these days. Someone shouts "Hacker!" or "Virus!" and Microsoft jumps on it as an excuse to auto reboot and lose customer data and sell it as a feature for OUR benefit!!!
So, I've set my updates to ask before installation.. Lets see if Windows listens.
Just had this happen to me, and thought I had malware or a hardware failure. Then read this thread, oh joy - incompetence rather than conspiracy, what a relief.
Not sure if I need to add anything to this thread other than my resignation to the inevitability of Microsoft feeling that the user is somehow secondary to the process of administrating our/their systems (clearly ownership is a flexible term, as is 'service').
(Interesting fact - The only reason I even have a LIVE account is because i 'had to' have it to run my windows phone - that saga is a whole different ball of wax as any windows phone owner will well know.) I am not a 'fan' of Microsoft any more than I am fan of Renault (the people who made my car). I acknowledge that to get the best from my car I need to have it serviced by Renault at intervals that they set. BUT IT DOESN'T STOP IN THE STREET JUST BECAUSE I WAIT A WEEK TO VISIT THEM.
But Microsoft (along with other 'service' providers like mobile phone companies - i.e. anyone who can 'cut you off' if you don't play their game) - thinks that we have some kind of relationship, that it should be governed by their needs, and that I should be grateful.
It is returning to the days a few years ago when I only logged on to the web for fear of viruses ... Now it's better to be offline to avoid constant interuptions by Microsoft, Adobe, AV updates etc - which are actually more intrusive than any malware! In fact the majority of processes starting on my PC are 'protection' rather than functional, and take up vast amounts of memory. The system tray is full of icons I don't even look at. You can't even USE your PC when you start it up due to all the software competing for bandwidth to check their ever-so-important updates. (I have a text file open up on startup just so I can do something while i am waiting...).
And to think that Microsoft is pushing 'cloud computing' i.e. not just always connected but completely dependent on the interweb... boggles the mind.
#If you are listening to this - you are the resistance#
Actually I re-read the thread and checked my settings - I am a good boy and allow the 'recommended' automatic updates. It does not say anything about interupting a user process! In fact at home and at all my employers, updates either have a warning - and an option to defer -or are scheduled at shut-down. So this is definitely a ****-up, not an idiot user with the wrong settings (thanks Linda for trying though).
BTW is it just me or are extra-long updates scheduled for shut-down just when you are most desperate to get on a plane/got to a meeting/ go to bed?? Is that kind of Murphies law for updates? And whereas 'old' windows had a 'shut-down without updates' option, 7 doesn't? Why exactly?
I was in the middle of writing my dissertation and the computer just decided to log me off and update itself therefore losing all my work for the whole day! I am so upset, I am almost crying and it's all Microsoft's fault!

I wouldn't normally post somewhere like this, or say anything at all, but this one really has me angry.
I just lost *FOUR DAYS* of time sensitive processing thanks to Windows update restarting the computer at some point last night.
Usually, I would expect a little dialog box in the bottom right notifying me that there are updates, and that I need to restart for them to take effect - but not this time.
Thanks Microsoft!!
This is happening on my laptop while the laptop is sleeping. Windows 7 Update awoke the laptop during the night and proceed with the automatic update although it was closed and in sleep mode and closed all applications without saving any work. It took me a few times to understand what happened. I feel the pain for all people on this forum who have lost important work.
Get back to reality Microsoft people, this is not a feature, this is a bug. Who ever allowed this *feature* to get in should get the sack.
I'm having the same problem and this has started only in the last week and half or so. It is seriously unacceptable behaviour as this has cost me to lose code 4 or 5 times now at this stage. I haven't lost too much, but it is still unacceptable. I've had word docs corrupted, my outlook file has just finished repairing itself and same with visual studio!!! Not cool!! The other really annoying behaviour is that, not only does it reboot without any warnings, once my laptop is rebooted, it reboots itself once again... It's like every update now require 2 reboots every time!! Complete pain!! I've noticed that this seems to be happening even thought I constantly keep postponing a reboot but if I didn't know any better, it's like after you cancelled the reboot a few times, it eventually decide to do it without your permission and worst without notifying you!!!
I've noticed that a comment has been marked as abusive, but I'll be honest... While I'm not into the whole "suing" thing... and it may be a bit extreme, but I'm feeling pretty much the same as this guy!!! Mad as hell to be honest... Like I've got nothing else better to do than having my machine rebooting itself multiple times without warning and losing work numerous time!!! What's going on??? And by the look of things, this seems to be a new introduced thing and this happening quite a bit concidering all of the comments that have been posted here are all recentl!!!
For flip sake!!!!
It happened once again!!! Second time in less than one hour!! and again rebooting twice!! and I've just notice it's failing to install an update and therefore, the second reboot is because it's reverting back the various changes!!! In the meantime, that update, which ever one is causing this is probably still in my list which means whatever the hell is causing this to reboot is probably going to cause to reboot once again!!!
And again, lost more stuff!! Sick of this now!! This is totally unacceptable MICROSOFT!!!
Here goes another update!!
I don't know if it will be of help to anyone, but hopefully my problem is now resolved... Will only find out later, but one thing I did managed to do is to install all the various patches that wouldn't install. I first installed the first 4 one at the time, followed by a reboot... I know... Crazy, and then as I got bored, I selected 2 and rebooted, then 3 and rebooted and all installed ok, so hopefully, this automated reboot will go dissapear for good and so will the double reboot!!! No idea but at least, that's one thing I can eliminate!!
I just hope that this behaviour will not be the case every time patches are pending to be installed!!!!
I have had this issue whilst playing a game... so its not just if you are away for an extended period of time... I was literally sat at the pc playing eve online (an mmorpg) and in the middle of something when my pc decided to restart.... I lost something that amounts to £120.... yeah, it was an ingame thing that I lost... but i still had to spend the money on it.... and I wouldn't have lost it if windows didn't hijack my PC. in fairness we should all sue... technically, you taking control of my system is a form of cyber crime...
I'm sure you won't offer to replace the money that I lost because of you, or even offer a token... MS is way to greedy and moneygrabbing for that....
So the least you can do is FIX YOUR DAMN SOFTWARE!!!!!!!!
Windows just restarted on me as well. All of the sudden what I was doing was stopped, and everything was gone. This is not the first, second, or even the third time this happens to me. This is utterly unnacceptable. Microsoft, I hate Apple, but you're really pushing it here... The next update better contain a fix for this. As a student, I can't afford to have a computer that could at any point restart. My time is too valuable for that.
From a sysadmins perspective: We need to enforce reboots on our clients because some sporty colleagues (also called idiots) will otherwise not boot for months. So the only option left is that nice 30 minute period of time while Windows Update will notify Users about the forced reboot. If the colleague is not in front of the machine within that 30 minutes all work is lost. Additionally we have many machines not even showing that notification or showing it somewhere in background instead of staying the front.
What we urgently need are group policy options like "Force the reboot after 2 days, but never on weekends, public holidays or outside of business hours". Additionally it would really be helpful if the notifier would show up at all and stay on top until the machine is rebooted.
90% of people have no idea how to change Windows Update settings, I just lost work because I forgot to change the setting after setting up a new VM and is why i'm looking for this problem others are having and want to support Microsoft waking up to reality! Instead of bringing conveyance and improving existing OS you gave us an entirely new OS which prevents productivity. Why didn't you fix Windows Update? It's still a usability nightmare! Please take this the best way possible, take a look at OS X updates and maybe a few notes because i've never had this type of problem on a Mac.
IMO Microsoft second guess their idiotic customers and then implement just as an idiotic a solution to counteract those idiots. The question I'm left with asking myself is perhaps Microsoft client O/S's only cater for computer uses with a very low IQ of around 50 or below? A study comparing the average IQ level of Apple MAC uses compared to Microsoft Windows users would be very interesting I'd imagine. I hope Boeing aircraft computers don't reboot in mid-flight like Microsoft Windows 7 computers do.
You must be kidding Linda!
"Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them" is not the same as "Download and install updates, but don't hijack the PC and reboot without confirmation"!!!!
Clearly, you didn't answer the question! And I wonder why?
Were you unable to understand it? This would make you an idiot...
Were you evading it? This would make you unethical and unprofessional...
Are you instructed to do so by the joke called MICROSOFT? Of course you are! And this makes unethical and unprofessional the whole Microsoft company!
Admitting that you were wrong in adding such a feature to Windows 7 would be honest and much more appreciated!
Calling this a "feature" is simply an insult to our intelligence! You and your company should be ashamed of insulting us, the users who pay your salary!
But this is typical Microsoft stuff... from tech support to products, all a load of bulls**t! You have years of tradition in this! Good job! Always the same old Microsoft we know and trust (to fail some way or another)!
No wonder you are one of the most hated companies in our industry!
Microsoft's next step will be sending an employee to break into your house to turn the computer on so they can do that 'IMPORTANT' update.
Another (maybe not so great tip): if the important update is about security disable the directly related feature, e.g. networking, until the customer runs the update changes. Thus letting the customer SAVE HIS WORK which is one of the main things he BOUGHT YOUR OS FOR.

Windows 8 is different. It will do the auto updates. If there is a reboot involved after the updates, then it tells you that you have 48 or 72 hours before the machine reboots itself, if you have not booted the machine within that time-span. I like "notify and I'll do the updates manually", because that gives me the opportunity to review the list of updates.

You seem to be a complainer, no doubt. BTW, I don't work for MS. :)
your post is totally inappropriate!! Someone goes to the trouble of helping you or the community and you turn this into a personal, rude and extremly arrogant reply!! Surely this could have been avoided wether that person worked for Microsoft or not!! Yes, when your machine reboots, it is frustrating and yes it can make you go mental when you lose your work (I've been there too!) but there is no excuse for how you spoke to this person!! After many hours on the web, i eventually found a work-around and my machine has been working fine ever since... You have to install service packs in a specific order. You're not the only one with problems, so please don't make it personal like this in the future when someone has gone to the trouble of helping you!! Your post made me think of something else i read recently where a developer wrote a superb app for windows phone 7&8 for free and he got such an abusive email one day later when already busy working on a fix. My point being why would anyone try to help anyone else if you end up being abused or insulted. Remember this next time!! I constanly have problems, not os related, dev related and without forums, communities many people would be lost. Enough said, I've got to go post a question on a dev forum as my windows phone emulator has just given up on me all of sudden!! Hint hint... You're not the only one with problem and be grateful people take the time to reply, whether the answer is good or bad!!! And No, i don't work for MS, nor am i trying to make excuses for their sometime annoying software behaviour but you need to chillax when replying on forums and not make it personal!! Sorry for the format!! Dodgy behaviour on windows phone! Good luck solving your problem!!! And sorry if my reply is a bit personal!!
Okay I am a Net Admin, no big deal I guess there are a lot smarter people then myself, but after working 7 hrs on a Photoshop document, and yes for this laptop I had auto update selected in the control panel. but my question is this, why would windows shut down while i was actively using the system? i had Photoshop in window not full screen, so any prompt would have been easily noticed, yes its 3:30am this is why i have been working the last 7 hrs yes i have saved copies but my original document and layers had not been saved, the only prompt was Photoshop that said would you like to save. YES, NO, Cancel.. well i clicked Cancel and still windows closed my laptop with out even a flinch, I can't get windows to close that fast when i want it to. So feature??? -- no i don't think so, a feature would perform as intended or at least try to, and yes i understand that MS has issues with this, but i received no prompt nothing. event logs show
#The Desktop Window Manager has exited with code (0x40010004)
User initiated logoff:

This event is generated when a logoff is initiated. No further user-initiated activity can occur. This event can be interpreted as a logoff event.
ah no i did not!!!???!!!
so at 3:00am
#A reboot is necessary before package KB2807986 can be changed to the Installed state.
and at 3:16am
#Package KB2807986 was successfully changed to the Installed state.
well that's nice at least it installed correctly.
now here is the meat of the system even log i will leave out the details
#Restart Required: To complete the installation of the following updates, the computer will be restarted within 15 minutes:
- Security Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB2807986)
#The Multimedia Class Scheduler service entered the stopped state.

looks like windows is shutting down services -- at this point i have had no prompt that any thing was happening, i even minimized Photoshop to open a word document during this time
#The Microsoft Software Shadow Copy Provider service entered the stopped state.
and 3:15am
#The process C:\Windows\system32\svchost.exe (HP_LAPTOP_01) has initiated the restart of computer HP_LAPTOP_01 on behalf of user NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM for the following reason: Operating System: Recovery (Planned)

Shutdown Type: restart
#User Logoff Notification for Customer Experience Improvement Program
and over the next 3 seconds yes seconds my system was shutting down, i have never had windows restart in 3 seconds, so another question, how many services were shutting down, not only without prompting but not even waiting for the user to be given the opportunity? again i was actively using my system, there was no prompt, and given a popup that i selected "Cancel" sill rebooted. the only thing that will force MS to address this "Feature".. and yes i have had servers reboot with a properly configured GPO i work with a Citrix environment so reboots not so good but i have thought okay must have been really important to take my production servers offline without so much as a up yours. i also have a windows update server configured to not install updates unless approved .. (that's a whole other issue).. well that does not work either. so your so called "feature" ignores GPO, Windows update server, and even system level configuration, and does what ever it wants, its not even a bug sounds more like a virus.
sorry for the run on sentences and errors but now i'm tired and pissed. the only thing that will really have MS do anything but say "sorry", or "you should have configured your system correctly, your bad" is A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT with monitory damages for lost wages, data loss, and even server downtime. Then maybe the " recommended " settings will be "download and wait for a human response" before doing what ever MS feels like. this kind of action should not be allowed at all!! ever!! its only takes one update that you don't even know about to invade your privacy and monitor everything on your PC.
I will be contacting the Corp attorney in the morning someone has to say enough already, MS shows no interest in the fact that this post among others is over two years old. So much for listening to the user lol.
if you have had enough respond to this post (unless Microsoft shuts me down.) and i will start to gather information for the lawsuit. again someone has to say STOP. hopefully this is that day.
This should be removed as a "feature" forcing a reboot just to install this weeks revision of "WGA" hidden in whatever fictional security update Microsoft made up this week is not on. At least the original "random reboot" updates were listed as WGA's and you could opt not to install them until the machines job was done for the day, but now its just hidden in fake "critical" updates. Sorry but your schitzophrenic paranoia that all users are pirates doesn't count as "critical" to real people.
This "feature" does NOT prompt you if you are using a full screen application, game, monitoring tool, emergency backup, diagnostic software, heart monitor, life support machine, engineering software/cad, turbine balancing system, security camera system, etc you get the idea. These sort of users just find the machine will just up and reboot for no reason. Many may not even realize it is caused by an update, as all they see is the machine closing down and $hit hitting the fan.
Do a quick google search and the number of class actions in the pipeline over this single "feature" is astounding. Yet it is still being sent out by windows update?
Frankly the idea of a prompt that just sneaks up on screen and gives you a 10 minute count down to destruction that if you are not at the PC destroys whatever you were working on gives the expectation that a user should never go to the bathroom or take a break. It is unhealthy, and a total breech of trust by a company big enough to know better.
This constant holy war to trip up users running "alledgedly" genuine software and rebooting once a week at some random inconvenient time to try to proove otherwise; and exploiting the users who in good faith leave their windows updates enabled and connected to the internet is not on. If MS even knew their "enemy" they would realize 99% of the time the pirates are running offline, or with updates disabled entirely; and it is just inconveniencing their real cash paying customers - and in some cases peoples lives are at risk. (ever seen a powerstation turbine being run up and a blade is out of balance?) This apparently also happens on server versions of windows. I guess this is engineered redundancy on Microsofts part.. ie rendering any Microsoft product as a whole, undesirable as a serious 24/7 server or business environment, as everyone will be switching over to OSX or Linux instead.
Ok you so called MS reps on here; earn you right to keep this job, instead of sitting here making tut tut sounds in technet, how about one of you actually get off your big fat overweight lazy cant be f*cked a$$es, and point out to your Boss/Supervisor/area manager that this feature is not only undesirable, it is downright dangerous, both to the end user, and to Microsofts future financial health as a whole.
I was offering SBS as an OS option to business grade PC's in my shop, due to this single DANGEROUS feature, I will now recommend to all enterprises I work for, that they use linux or even OSX instead. Likewise tablet pcs, anything but windows. It was nice knowing you Microsoft but it appears you are forcing us all to outgrow you due to your idiocy.
This just happened to me for the second time.
I had been postponing restart for a couple of times. Then I got asked if I want to save my work and I quickly clicked "Yes". The "Save As..." dialog opened. Before I had time to do anything else, Windos started closing all my running applications and restarted.
What is the point of asking if one wants to save one's work, and then not allowing one to do that before a restart?
Surely a restart could wait until the user has saved all unsaved work, especially when prompted to do so!
Is this an instance of one part of Windows not "knowing" what the other part is doing?

This just happened to me for the second time.
I had been postponing restart for a couple of times. Then I got asked if I want to save my work and I quickly clicked "Yes". The "Save As..." dialog opened. Before I had time to do anything else, Windos started closing all my running applications and restarted.

One way to overcome the issue is to put Windows Update in notification only mode. in doing that, it's your show and you tell the Update to do the update. If you don't save your work beforehand or after and tell Update to boot the machine, then you have no one to blame but yourself if work is lost.
I hate to break it to you but Windows will spontaneously reboot your machine for an update even if you go through the effort to tell it not to. Point to all the Microsoft articles you want, mine just did so early this morning and killed my bitcoin mining app for 6 hours. I know I set it to 'let me choose' as it has been annoying me with notices that it wanted to do updates.
Maybe if Microsoft broke from their decades long habit of selling bloated software that is bug ridden and followed a model like maybe one of their competitors (you can figure it out) and produced a product for users instead of using users as beta testers they would not need so many patches.
The problem isn't the options surrounding patching, it is arrogance on Microsoft's part that what we buy isn't ours and that we as users are there to be trampled upon. I have been in the process of getting out from under the thumb of Microsoft now for 6 months and have converted one machine to Ubuntu and my next new machine will be a Mac. I'm done with the Microsoft experience.
I suggest they fix their code before they sell it in the first place. If Ford/GM/Toyota/etc....sold cars with this many recalls, they would never be on the road.
Automatic updates with the option to delay them is fine, but give me a break. Microsoft needs to stop pumping garbage out into the marketplace.

I hope there is only one method to create partition on nonempty table (pls share any there is any other method for same) :
Does this commond drop the actual index? if yes, can i create similar index on the table?

That command doesn't create a partition - it would remove any partitions created by the index being dropped. To create a partition (or, more accurately, an index over a series of partitons) you would use CREATE INDEX and specify a partition scheme as the destination data space:
In answer to your other questions, yes - the index is actually dropped and yes, you can then create a similar index.

Thanks Matt,what is a difference between
CREATE TABLE......on [myPartitionScheme] ([partitoning_column] and CREATE INDEX......on [myPartitionScheme] ([partitoning_column] ? Which one is preferred & why?
Feb 22, 2010 at 10:01 AM kardile
When you specify ON in CREATE TABLE, it's either specifying where the heap goes (if you don't specify a clustered constraint) or it's actually doing nothing at all (if you do specify a clustered constraint). When you specify it on create index, you're specifying where that index will be stored, whether clustered or not.

Wippa's overgrown chest hair + Royal Easter Show in town = let's shear Wippa like a sheep!
Rod from Tobruk Sheep Station came in with Baaaa-bara the sheep who needed shearing, while Fitzy took the clippers to Wippa.
Wippa wore a nappy because sheep tend to let themselves go while they're being sheared. Better to be safe than sorry.

Mallow - Nimbus Land [+ interview]
artist: Mallow
release name: Nimbus Land
format /type: digital /LP
label: Urban Waves Records
country: USA
release date: 20 November 2012
genre: electronic, experimental, atmospheric, hip hop, 8bit, spaced out
download link: http://urbanwavesrecords.bandcamp.com/album/nimbus-land
We brought you another mad blend* debut album titled "Nimbus Land" by Mallow a young and promising producer out of Boston, USA. Mallow hit us up earlier this year with his single Geno Blast that we released a while back in our single series. We were imediately drawn into his imaginary universe that is so easily outlined by his very deep music. Future's looking bright when hearing this album, give it a listen and if you want to learn more about this dude, we did an interview with Mallow just for you!
Interview with Mallow for Urban Waves 'Nimbus Land' album release
November 20, 2012
Could you tell us about where you're from?
I'm originally from St. Louis, MO but I'm living in Boston now
What does your alias means?
Mallow is a character in Super Mario RPG that can be played on Super Nintendo. He is a cloud person born into royalty as a Prince, but when a storm hits his native land he drifts to tadpole pond and is raised by the tadpoles that live there. Mallow grows up thinking he is a tadpole when in fact he is a cloud person. He has a very strong proclivity for magic making him a useful ally during the course of Mario's quest.
When did you become interested in making music? What's your background?
I started playing drums when I was in middle school. It was also around this time that I downloaded a Fruity Loops demo and started making beats. Drums took over for most of high school and then In college I got really into the electronic hip hop stuff and started making beats again.
Could you describe your musical style?
Hmmmm… I'm having a hard time finding an answer for this one. I'm not trying to act arrogant I just don't know how to sum it up in a way that's really telling. I guess you could say its influenced by super nintendo, hip hop, and whatever else is in my head.
Do you have a particular process when you're making a track?
I just let it come out of me. Sometimes the original idea is drums or a melody, sometimes I hear the whole beat before I sit down at ableton. Also whiskey.
What was your state of mind in the making of Nimbus Land?
I wanna say it was great but it was pretty dark for most of it. I think that's why the album has this "it's gonna be ok" feel to it, because I was kind of trying to convince myself that it would be. Making music has a real healing effect on me so the Mallow stuff tends to be fed by sides of me that need that. Also, whiskey.
Any future musical projects you would like to share?
My band Bear Language is finishing up an album. We don't have a release date yet but be on the look out for that. You can download our latest EP "The Ventriloquist" for free on our site bearlanguage.com.
As for Mallow, I'm at work on the next project. Whether it'll be an EP or another Album I don't know yet.
What is your personal motto?
You know you get them hoes when you're hangin' in the street
Would you like to make any shout-outs?
Shout out to Kayla Escobedo for the artwork and Nick Susi for shifting some of his attention off managing Bear Language to help me out. Also, shouts out to Urban Waves!

Powell has a history of not retaining its mayors, and Mangold said he knew it would be tough. He said the race against Sapp was low key, and the two didn't differ on many issues —other than the depth of the shallow-end of the new swimming pool.
Sapp agreed, adding, "We both want what's best for Powell."
Sapp said Wednesday he appreciated the support he received and enjoyed his past eight years on the council.
"I'd like to thank the voters who did vote for me," Sapp said. "I wish the new councilmen and Scott good luck."
Mangold said he didn't plan to run for two terms four years ago, but after his involvement on many projects in his first term — the aquatic facility, the fiber-optic network, Centennial Park, the Plaza Diane renovation —he wanted to continue leading the city.
"A lot of major projects hit at the same time," Mangold said. "It wouldn't be fair to switch gears and change leaders ... the transition would have been difficult for someone else."
Mangold added he wants to see completion on these projects, "and if something goes wrong, then I'd be the one to blame."
During his first year as mayor, Mangold had a ribbon on his office door that read, "I'm new." This time, Mangold will have a target sticker, he said. If someone has a problem to solve or needs a referee to resolve an issue, Mangold is the target.
"I'm there to help solve a lot of problems," he said.
Mangold, who is co-owner of MGR Media, said he is finding a balance between working at the radio station and serving as Powell's mayor.
"I learned to adjust my schedule at the radio station," he said. "It's a juggling act, but it keeps me busy and keeps me off the couch."
Mangold's focus during his first term was improving communication between the city and citizens, and he said communication continues to be his priority.
In addition to using the new Powellink fiber network to increase community communication, Mangold also plans on revamping his brown-bag lunch idea. Mangold may meet with people in the evening, since lunchtime turnout was low. He also likes the idea of meeting with residents in each ward.
Besides making communication a priority locally, Mangold said he wants to continue dialogues with other city governments in the Big Horn Basin and the Park County commissioners, especially when it comes to having a united voice among municipalities when addressing the Legislature and Gov. Dave Freudenthal.
Mangold said he wants to encourage young people to stay in Powell, and he thinks there are ways to work with the state to invest in keeping a young workforce in Wyoming.
"There are a lot of legislators that want to save for the future, but you have to think about the present, too," he said.
Three councilmen elected
Powell voters elected Floyd Young and Don Hillman and re-elected Jim Hillberry to the Powell City Council on Tuesday.
In Ward 1, Hillberry garnered 513 votes, or 64 percent, while opponent Shea Reel trailed with 280 votes, or nearly 35 percent. Eight write-in votes were received.
"I am very humbled and pleased with people in our ward who have continued to elect me into that position," Hillberry said.
Reel said he learned a lot through his first time running for office and is thankful for the experience. Reel said he is interested in getting involved with local government in the future.
Hillberry said he supports anyone who is interested in engaging with city government.
"I appreciate his desire to run," Hillberry said.
The two candidates didn't differ much on issues, he added.
"We differed on experience and age," he said.
Young led the Ward 2 race with 683 votes, or nearly 75 percent, while incumbent Mark Senn trailed with 227
votes, or almost 25 percent. Three write-in votes were received.
"I'm encouraged by the support," Young said.
Senn said he appreciated being able to serve on the council and may run again in the future.
"Floyd Young will be an excellent council member," Senn said.
Senn said he is looking forward to seeing the completion of the pool and Centennial Park.
Hillman received 526 votes or nearly 67 percent, and John Sides followed with 262 votes, or about 33 percent.
Two write-in votes were cast.
Both men have previous council experience.
"I'm ready to return to the council, get back up to speed and get to work," Hillman said.
Sides, who serves on the Powell Planning and Zoning Commission, said he plans to stay involved with city government.
"Don Hillman is a good man and the city will be served well," Sides said.
Mangold said the new councilmen will bring a mixture of old school and new school.
"It's going to be a unique blend," Mangold said.
Mangold and the three city councilmen will be sworn in on Jan. 5.

Former Russell County star and member of the Atlanta Braves organization Cory Rasmus has been traded to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
The Braves announced the move with a news release Monday morning.
Atlanta received veteran left-handed reliever Scott Downs in exchange for the 2006 first-round draft pick. Left-handed relief was a point of concern for the Braves with both Jonny Venters and Eric O'Flaherty out for the season.
Downs was 2-3 with a 1.84 ERA with the Angels, and is a free agent after this season. He signed a three-year, $15 million contract prior to the 2011 season.
Rasmus made three appearances with the Braves, striking out six in 6.2 innings while posting an 8.10 ERA. He was optioned back to Triple-A Gwinnett on June 18, and will report to the Angels' Triple-A team in Salt Lake City, Utah.

I made this. A long time ago. When I sucked.
So while you're waiting for a finished drawing, I thought maybe some people might be interested in seeing a WIP photo. I'm a traditional artist that just got into digital this year, and I have had a lot of formal training, especially with figure drawing, so I draw in a fairly traditional manner. Gestures and bones first. Worry about the outline only after everything is figured out. Then I color. And yes, I use Paint Tool SAI, it's just magical. :)
I made the gestures faint here so you could see what the heck was going on.
uh oh starting to see my art on my own dash. I guess that means I need to get my butt into gear working on these next posts :D I'll have something within a few days. So excited to share!
Sorry for the lack of updates in the past few weeks. I've started many things but have finished nothing. I've been having a hard time coming by inspiration and have been very busy. Hopefully I'll have something up in the next week though.
I really want to thank my new followers! You guys seriously are awesome :)
Two new followers today :) Here is your gift.
Thor is still not sure if want.
This has been sitting on my computer for a month or two so I've decided to finally suck it up, stop worrying about the details, and put it on here.
This is Egyptian Loki. This was kind of a "first draft" type of thing, to see if I like the idea of him blended into the ancient Egyptian culture. I have a few others of this same theme that I'm working on right now :)
(yes I posted this a few days ago but forgot my name on it so here it is)
"This is where you belong, here, under me."
So this has been sitting on my computer, unfinished, since the movie came out almost a month ago. There has been a recent influx of awesome art on my dash which motivated me to finally get to work on this. There will be a color (and more polished) version later.
NSFW after cut!
I have some new followers this week! Including a uh…food blog.
I love every single one of my followers! I'm a traditional artist with charcoals and paints and inks and all of that, so doing work with a tablet is difficult and new to me. I'm not entirely confident in my work I put on here, especially compared to my traditional work, so every reblog, like, and new follower is greatly appreciated. *happy tear*
So some nice anon did a fill for my prompt over on norsekink! Ya'll should go read it.
Hit the click through for awesome story time.

This is beautiful and I love it but I think it broke me out. :( For what it's worth, I have very sensitive skin. It is a lovely product and a unique shade, so I'm rating it 3/5. Unfortunately I would not buy again.
This was my first MAC blush and is georgeos, im nc 35 and is perfect for me.
I always hesitate when it comes to reviewing blushes because I just don't think it's fair to give something a low rating due to the color. In terms of longevity and color payoff, it's an average MAC blush. Pigmentation can be built up and it will last a good 4-5 hours. I did not particularly enjoy Gingerly on MY NC25 skin but that doesn't mean it won't work for others. It does come off a little muddy and orange so maybe girls with NC20-NC30 girls should keep that in mind. However, this would look great on NC35 and up girls.

I'm an NC40-42.
Holy moly. Can i just say that I absolutely freaking adore this blush oh so freaking much?
I use this blush when:
I don't feel like thinking about what blush to wear
If I'm in a hurry
Strong eyes or lips
Natural flush
Or just about.. anything. Really. Gingerly looks like a neutral blush on me - it adds the perfect amount of glow to my cheeks (despite of its matte-ness) and it never looks unnatural on me. I find that I also don't need to be super careful when applying this one (might be a different story for those with paler skin). It just gives me this very pretty, natural, warm glow.. but different from a bronzer. It's like a very peachy brown that looks so nice and natural on me.
It also stays the whole day, which is news to my very oily skin.
I'd recommend this, especially if you have the same skin tone.
4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have been using this new blush of mine almost every single day for the past several weeks.
It is a great fall color. On my light olive skin tone, this is a dusky, almost earth toned peach. It is well pigmented and I just use a tap per cheek and blend well. I have not had a MAC blush in my collection for many years, and I was pleasantly surprised at the nice feel of this and ease of use. I appreciate the large size of the pan as it can accommodate my large blush brush. I bought Mocha at the same time and I really like that one as well.
I thought this was a pretty peach, however on my NC25 skin-tone it comes off very orangey, bordering on terracotta. I dislike any sort of orange in my blush so I gave it away. The pigmentation and application were both good though. If you've tried NARS 'Gina' and hated it, stay away from Gingerly.
2 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I love this blush. I originally bought coppertone, but it is way more orangey and bright on my skin. Gingerly is the perfect peachy-brown terracotta shade to warm up my skin. I am a NW 35 with a very warm deep skin tone (biracial). I can see this being muddy on lighter, cooler skin tones.
It wears very well (8 hours) and is quickly becoming my everyday blush : )
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
NC 25/30. This is "supposed" to look great, natural on my skintone, and in fact 2 Mac MAs recommended it. I was looking for something a bit more neutral than my peachy blushes. A total fail on me. Looks muddy brown, terra-cotta even with light application. Maybe because my skin turns blushes a bit darker after a bit? (though this hasn't been a problem w/other blushes). Felt bad but had to return.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Favourite blush hands down. If you find yourself gravitating more towards peachier blushes then pink blushes this is the PERFECT blush for you! Its is a lovely matte peach colour, that will just add a beautiful, natural looking hint of colour to your cheeks. Mac as always has such sleek packaging. The only reason for a lippie off is the mac prices. I understand that for higher quality products youre expected to pay more, but im not really thinking about that when im shelling out $30.
Seeking an everyday matte blush, I thought this would could be a near replacement of Clinique's tea rose. (which is so hard to find, probably discontinued) Looks peachy-taupe on the pan, it applies into a healthy flush of peachy glow onto my NC20-25 skin. It goes well with darkbrowns eye makeup, with buildable intensity. It'll be perfect if it's less orangey, maybe more mauve-y to be my daily neutral blusher.

by ABC6 Chief Political Reporter mark Curtis
No one was talking at Cristina's Market on Smith Street in Providence.
It is one of five convenience stores in the city accused of food stamp, or EBT card fraud.
The U.S. Attorney says those five stores, bilked the system for 3 million dollars, in the process robbing people in need.
"It's just an amazing reminder of how many children battle hunger every single day. And this is a program that can help that, and it should not be abused," said U.S. Attorney Peter Neronha.
Here's how the scam works.
A person buys a small item - like a soda - and pays with an EBT card.
Then they ask for cash back - say 50 bucks.
The crooked store owner complies, but also charges the customer a convenience fee, of say, 80 dollars.
Since giving cash back is illegal. It's all debited as groceries, on a phony receipt.
ABC 6 Chief Political Reporter Mark Cutis said, "One of the stores charged in the indictment has already been closed. In fact, it has a new owner and he's having a tough time of it."
Sam's Tobacco and Convenience on Douglas Avenue replaced the old "Stop and Go" which was charged with EBT fraud.
Sam's owner is hoping his customers can start using EBT soon.
"It's been very slow. Like without EBT, in this neighborhood you cannot survive. I've been struggling because I've been punished for what they did. Like they've been gone a few months," said Rashid Raja who owns Sam's.
Indicted stores owners have lost their EBT privileges and some have closed.

HIGHLAND, Wis (WSAU-Wheeler News) - We're learning more about the tornado that caused heavy damage in Iowa County in southwest Wisconsin.
National Weather Service radar now shows it was on the ground from about 10:20 to 10:45 p.m. Sunday from Highland to near Governor Dodge State Park.
The Iowa County Emergency Management agency said the storm tore roofs from homes. Silos and hundreds of trees were blown down.
There has been no word of any injuries. A damage survey crew will inspect the damage later Monday.
Also, the Weather Service confirms a 4.3 mile path of wind damage starting around 11:25 p.m. close to Oregon in Dane County. One farm had roof damage to both a house and a barn, and a grain elevator was blown down.
Elsewhere, officials reported a mudslide on Highway 60 in Crawford County. Pardeeville in Columbia County had up to one-and-three-quarter inches of rain in just 20 minutes. Baraboo in Sauk County had up to two-feet of street flooding. Trees and power lines fell near Fennimore in Grant County.
A flash flood watch is in effect until this evening for much of southwest Wisconsin. The Weather Service said the ground was so saturated in that region, it could cause already-high rivers and streams to go over their banks. The overnight storms were leaving Wisconsin around four this morning.
Forecasters said another round of heavy thunderstorms is due in this afternoon and evening.

Awards Season Begins
December is the traditional beginning of Awards season for Hollywood and we've already found out who the nominees shall be for the 15th Annual Critics Choice Awards. Sure it's not the Oscars or even the Golden Globes but it's a good indication of what we should expect when those two list come out. Ireland is represented in the list of nominees by Saoirse Ronan, the 15 year-old, Carlow born, actress who is starring in Peter Jackson's The Lovely Bones. Previously nominated for an Oscar at age 11 for Atonement, the 7th youngest Best-Supporting Actress nominee ever, she has a chance in two categories at the Critics Choice Awards, having been nominated for Best Young Actor/Actress and Best Actress. Brendan Gleeson starrer Into the Storm is nominated for Best Picture Made For Television but that's it in regards to Irish nominees.

Notes and photos from our spring visit to Baylor
- Details
- by Zach Barnett 1 year ago
If college football had a March Madness-style 48-team tournament, Baylor would have been the proverbial lower-seeded team no one wants to see in their bracket. "We probably would have been the Wichita State," said defensive coordinator Phil Bennett.
After a 3-4 start, the Bears closed the year with a 41-14 drubbing of Kansas, a 42-34 loss at Oklahoma and a season-ending four-game winning streak with wins over then-No. 1 Kansas State, Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, capped by a 49-26 blitzkrieg of UCLA in the Holiday Bowl in which Baylor jumped out to a two-touchdown lead before UCLA achieved a first down. "We felt threatened," head coach Art Briles said from his office, "we were going into their backyard."
"I told my older brother, 'This is what we want to be tonight,'" Bennett added.
The first coach in school history to lead Baylor to three straight bowl games, as Briles stands in his office inside the three-year old Simpson Center housing the Baylor athletic offices, he can look to his right and see the three-year old Allison Indoor Practice Facility. In the distance to the left sits the construction of Baylor's new stadium, boxed in by Interstate 35 and the Brazos River, the crown jewel of Baylor's athletic renaissance. (Once the football stadium is complete, the only Baylor athletic facility more than 15 years old will be basketball's Ferrell Center.)
Considering where the program sat when he took over in 2008, does Briles view the new stadium as Baylor's official arrival in the landscape of college football? "No," he replies, "just the tip of the iceberg." With a Heisman Trophy on his mantle, a 10-win season and a 28-point take down of the nation's top-ranked team, the next question Briles now faces is how much further he can take the program. Can you win a national championship at Baylor? "Yes," Briles responded immediately. "You win the conference championship, you can win the national championship."
Among the keys to Baylor's late-season resurgence were the emergence of running back Lache Seastrunk, 102 carries for 831 yards (8.14 yards per carry) and six touchdowns over Baylor's final six games, and a defense that forced 12 turnovers over those six games. Although life as a defensive coordinator in the Big 12 can at times feel like that of a survivor in "The Walking Dead", Bennett diplomatically states "I have enjoyed the challenge."
Offenses have become so fast in the Big 12, Bennett notes, "(the players) almost have to call the defense themselves." But, with eight starters returning from the much-improved unit including linebackers Bryce Hager and Eddie Lackey and nickel back Ahmad Dixon, the Bears expect to start the upcoming season the way the finished the previous one.
A 35-year coaching veteran at his 13th stop in a well-traveled career, Bennett has bought in to Baylor because Baylor has bought in to Briles. "Art oozes confidence," Bennett said. "The one thing I know, I know Art can get it done."
"This is a gem, people are starting to realize," Bennett continued. "Our journey is not just respectability, it's to win a championship."

Sources tell us each of these looks will indeed see the field this year. For their opponents' sake, let's hope they don't wear the gold helmets on a sunny afternoon.
