Windows 10 April update

I sometimes leave my computer on overnight, got on it this morning to find it had shutdown overnight which annoyed me as I had a couple of notes unsaved, haven't checked if it was for a update.

Added Just checked updates and found 2 were installed overnight, Yet I also have a message that it wants me to restart now.

Just set it to not updating between certain hours.

Sorry...Just set it to not restarting between certain hours.

Thanks hallmark,

I have checked that

It was restarting outside that time which was the issue for me, normally I would see a notification that Windows is updating and so setup for it.

If you're leaving on overnight you can stop it doing what it did.

Just be aware that as we progress through the various versions of Windows 10, the older versions are no longer supported by Microsoft!
See the Microsoft website for further information.
On a good note Microsoft are developing a Windows 10 Lite, especially for those that have limited space available to do an upgrade. (Items like tablets)

I notice MS have discontinued the Homegroup facility in this version. Although you can still use the printer from another PC it looks like MS are pushing customers towards using their cloud for file sharing, for a fee of course.

My laptop is connected to the printer wirelessly  and it stopped working, but once I went into Settings and Printers and clicked on the name of the printer and ticked a box that had become unticked during the update, it worked again.

Why would anyone want to do that?  If I want to share a file with my OH, I just email it to his tablet, ditto photos etc.  I guess in a company that's not practical, but I'm sure they must have Windows Pro (or whatever is available to them, probably at a larger cost than the typical home user).  There are still ways of connecting home PCs even without using the Homegroup facility.
