    I still can’t get over the fact that there’s just no way to prevent Windows 11 home edition from ever rebooting automatically.

      Because non-techy users would use that feature and then complain to Microsoft when their OS gets malware or breaks.

      I think you’re right but I wouldn’t be surprised at all by an angry “akshually…” reply in the near future. I’ve had multiple users claim they’re windows gurus and have literally never had an automatic reboot happen to them

        Windows does a lot of sneaky reboots that it doesn’t notify about before or after. I dualboot and windows is not the default OS, so when I leave windows running and come back to linux, I know what happened.
