    Can't hurt to try, but in theory "notify for install" should never cause an automatic reboot either way. I am liking Win10, but this is awful of them.

    Thanks, they really make it difficult. It doesn't seem right that it is that challenging to prevent your computer from restarting randomly.

    I have Win10 pro and set to "notify to schedule restart" and "defer updates". Also have "give me updates for other MS products..." unchecked.

    However, Win10 just decided to reboot the computer and...

    Thanks for the clarification. I thought something like this was the case. I guess the question is if there is anything that can be done about it. I might try another DVD drive if all else fails.

    Hot to stop DVD drive noise when going to sleep

    When the computer goes to sleep, it accesses the DVD drive (for some reason). It then makes a noise for a second or two, which is pretty annoying. Any way to stop this? It has no reason to even mess...

    Ahhh, so if want to simply change my motherboard next year (probably the best definition a new "device"), I will most likely have to pay an upgrade fee. I sort of expected this would be the case.

    Clean Install on Another Computer a Year Later?

    I poked around but could not find a clear answer for this scenario. What I found is that if you upgrade during the first year, it is linked to your hardware.

    But lets say next year I want to get a...

    Another option is to use desktop to the LEFT or RIGHT of the existing desktop. This is done with keyboard shortcut WIN+CNTRL+ARROW or with the following code:
