Considering how annoying Windows 10 can be (scheduled reboot which you then can't disable, update downloading in the background without asking and at the most annoying of time, impossible to disable telemetry), I feel sorry that you use OSes which are actually worth.

Both Android and iOS also do these things, generally speaking.

What Android are you on that forcibly installs updates and reboots?

I believe on my last Android I had to disable some system apps to prevent it from installing an update I didn't want. It was a Motorola. My iPhone will allow me to defer it a couple times but always lets me know what date and time in the future it'll install the update, just like Windows 10 does.
