Did the update to Win 8.1 last night, simultaneously I downloaded Roxio installation files.
Over WiFi this takes 2 hours.
8.1 finished first, and wanted to restart. Roxio had 20 minutes to go.
There was absolutely no way I could prevent 8.1 restarting my computer. It didn't wait for ongoing processes to end. Just bang, restart, ditch the downloads in progress!
How on earth can Microsoft force you to restart against your wishes? This is so stupid!
Luckily I managed to salvage the Roxio installation file, but it could easily have been a process that was unsalvageable.
