> If you're work PC forces you to reboot "right now", that's a corporate policy or some shitty "endpoint protection" tool.

Or they just know their users.

At our company,the policy is set up to request reboot during the next 30 days (so basically till the next patch Tuesday). Who complains the most about updates all the time or every day? Those, who didn't bother to reboot during the last 30 days.

So at some point, you have to force it.



I'm one of those who will ignore it until forced to reboot because it's less reboots in total.

At home I have plenty of times where rebooting isn't disruptive, at work that's never true.
