Try this: When you see that updates are available, just install them instead of putting it off. It takes 10 minutes at most. Following that philosophy, I have never had an update interrupt me at a critical moment. Meanwhile my update-averse colleagues are constantly dodging the prompts and complaining about update interruptions.

On my games machine, yup. Generally works a treat. On the Win 7 era laptop used as a web browser by parents though? The same updates take several hours (slow spinning rust). So that machine is likely being replaced by a Chromebook in the near future, as a Windows replacement is looking at least double the cost for enough hardware to avoid the update problems.
