This isn’t what the dialog says verbatim, but if you read between the lines this is what they are really telling you.
Note to Microsoft: My computer is a tool, which I use for many things. Running Windows is simply means to that end, not an end in itself.

The Biggest Game Ever

The Best of 2018
I called 2018 "The Year of Good News". Here is a list of the games I thought were interesting or worth talking about that year.
The Plot-Driven Door
You know how videogames sometimes do that thing where it's preposterously hard to go through a simple door? This one is really bad.
Diablo III Retrospective
We were so upset by the server problems and real money auction that we overlooked just how terrible everything else is.
Stupid Windows.
And, of course, if you don’t keep telling it not to reboot, it eventually does so anyway.
FPOS.
Pretty much the lesson I’ve been going by for awhile now: Don’t upgrade unless you need to. As long as everything works fine, I’m happy.
My solution – don’t close the first window that pops up, because that one won’t trigger an auto-reboot. Instead, click on its upper left corner, and drag it down to the lower right corner of the screen. You’ll never see it again. Of course, it’ll still show up in the Taskbar, and I haven’t figured out yet what to do about that, but this lets me delay the reboot for a couple of weeks (at which point Windows starts acting screwy for whatever reason and I have to reboot anyway).
My version will restart in 5 minutes automatically if it doesn’t get a response…

For all of that lecture, a full hour, that little window would pop up. He would close it and return to his lecture. And then, two or three slides later, there was that window again.
I’ve totally forgotten what the lecture was supposed to be about…
