It could at least prompt and be like "hey we're going to update overnight maybe save your work"

but no instead just lose everything.

Fuck off microsoft

Did you keep hitting the "ignore" or "sleep" button? Eventually it'll force updates because they're important.

I always tell it to Pause updates if I'm working on something.

But I also save my work very often for reasons like this.

We've come a long way since Windows XP

Hell I'll take Windows 8.1 over Windows 10, literally the worst of the worst ever

Windows 8/8.1 is trash though.

10 is garbage but at least it's mostly functional :/

I did for months but then it eventually one day updated.

Now it just doesn't prompt at all.

It gave up on trying to give you the benefit of the doubt and is treating you like like a low intelligence computer user and forcing the updates.

Honestly assumed something was wrong with my computer when that first started to happen.

However overall it seems like everything that MS does is to make things worse even things like Office. The older offices seem to be easier to work with. Double so when it comes to putting in picture and stuff.

Turn your computer off at night.

Sucks that it forces the updates. But really just turn your computer off every night to save energy and avoid issues like this.

Another one is that the older Control Panel is much more useful than the new Settings app. Thank god that Control Panel is still in Windows 10..

There's no escaping the updates. Eventually it gets forced and then your audio breaks or you have to completely reset your PC. Thanks M$
