Description
On Windows 8 and up, it's difficult (at best) for users to prevent Windows from automatically rebooting after some automatic updates have been installed.
Several times, I have had one of my guest OS's running, and lost whatever was going on there when the process was killed during an automatic reboot.
My suggestion is to have options upon reboot to allow... -- preventing the reboot -- save guest machine state and exit -- shut down guest machine and exit -- power off guest machine and exit
