You’re a student who needs to take notes for a class. You open your laptop to find that the battery has died. No problem. You’ll just plug the charger in. But, unbeknownst to you, it had downloaded an update silently the last time you used it. Now that it’s booting up you’ll get nothing but a Windows Update screen for the next 15 minutes.

You’re at the doctor’s office waiting for an appointment. You open your laptop for a minute to check your mail. Surprise! Windows is booting up with an update. The nurse then calls your name and you have to carry your laptop around with the lid open like a jackass or risk bricking it.
