last I heard the status is this:  MS let you chooose a 12-hour period
each day when there won't be any updates.  

that doesn't work well for me because I sleep and work odd hours. 

But another guy wrote a short program t hat constantly changes the 12
hour period so I am always in the 3rd hour of it, with 9 hours to go. So
now it never restarts except when I let it. 

Sometimes the computer slows down and I need to restart it.  Usually I
check for windows updates before I do.  I download them and let them
update during restart if that is what they need. 

I go about a week between restarts, but I'm willing to go much longer
when it doesn't give me trouble, like slowness.  (The other day, for the
first time ever, alt-tab didn't work!  Restarting fixed that.)
