Sounds like your IT doesn’t know how to properly orchestrate updates.
Best way to do it in a Windows enterprise environment that I’ve seen so far:
1 Week: Install in the background silently and finish when the machine reboots.
After the week, 2 Days: Warn once that the machine will automatically reboot in 48 hours.
12 hours before forced reboot: Pop up a warning in the corner with the countdown before reboot. Options are reboot now or warn me again in X hours. If you dismiss it without selecting, it pops up again in an hour.
If your Windows machine hasn’t rebooted in a week and a half, of course you’re going to have performance issues. What, you expect devs to avoid memory leaks?
That all said, the amount of Windows sysadmins who haven’t entirely given up on wrestling Microsoft’s update bullshittery is shrinking every day.
