Hey guys, so I had a bit of a problem with my computer deciding that it wanted to update to Windows 8.1 automatically while I was in the middle of taking an online, timed test that I only get one attempt at.. So I frantically searched on my phone for how to get it to postpone this update while simultaneously trying to crunch numbers into my calculator to finish on my new time limit of 15 minutes.. And yeah, I got about 50% through it by the time the computers countdown hit 0. Anyways, is this seriously a thing that Windows 8 won't let you stop from happening?? Like did they really not consider that making it impossible to stop a restart would be bad for a lot of people? If I am missing something here, some help regarding how to prevent this from ever happening again would be so very deeply appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
