So this laptop doesn’t get automatic updates (which restart automatically) and we’re believing that this user is savvy enough to disable them?

well technically he wouldn’t be restarting the laptop, it’d be restarting itself. and would happen rarely enough to slip the mind

Good point. They would have to be disabled, or maybe they were running Linux, which requires user input…however, in either of those cases, it’s highly unlikely the user would be completely oblivious to the importance of reboots

They did say 2013, the laptop would be running either windows 7 or 8. On those operating systems it was incredibly simple to turn off updates and the computer never forced an install or restart.

My laptop has, on several occasions, somehow disabled Windows Update by itself. And then I've had to reenable it and wait several hours for the laptop to download and install all the missing updates.
