Warning to anyone who has your settings in Windows 10 programmed so that they only update at a certain time –

A recent update from Windows reset these settings (Aahhggg!) so that the computer would update at a different time than you originally scheduled.


Here’s what happened:

Working hard on my computer . . . then let it sit idle for a bit . . .

Before I know it, I hear an odd beep, which shouldn’t be happening.

What just happened?

I come to find that Windows did another update, which meant that my open Word docs had to be re-saved, my internet browser pages had to be pulled from history, and my currently open work setup had to be re-setup. What a headache!

I dug deeper and realized that the last update I installed (at my chosen, convenient time) had completely re-configured my Windows update settings.

Yes, needless to say, I reverted my settings back to where I had set them previously ASAP.

However, I did not want anyone else to go through what I just went through!
