    This shouldn’t had been an issue in Windows 10, having 11 look as slick, but force rebooting to update. Why is it still like this? Why is it forced to auto update? Why doesn’t Linux or Chromeos force auto updates? Sure you have to reboot Chromebook but it’s manual rebooting not forced auto rebooting.
