Being forced to reboot your computer at an inopportune time is a pain.
Even worse is returning to your trading desk to a login screen because Windows “conveniently” updated itself while you were away.
Windows Updates have always been mildly annoying for everyone, but if you’re auto-trading, these unplanned reboots can be expensive due to missed trades.
Traders using my trade automation software know how expensive they can be.
Long-time friend of the list Maoxian wrote about this and a solution he found to disable Windows Updates that actually works.
You should update Windows, so I’m not advocating disabling the updates and never doing it manually.
But this solution would allow you to do it on your schedule, not Microsoft’s.
