Windows Update can be disruptive, as it has the ability to perform forced reboots that can interrupt work and shut down applications unexpectedly.
While Windows Update has improved in terms of restraint, it still has the capability to automatically reboot at inopportune times for necessary updates.

Microsoft is exploring solutions like 'hotpatching' for Windows 11 to allow security updates to take effect immediately without requiring a system reboot.
