The article also fails to mention that shutting down your computer and turning it back on will not install updates (by default). So if you regularly turn off your computer instead of rebooting it, the updates never get installed.

Then one day windows realizes, holy smokes, we have to install those updates now! And proceeds to restart your computer regardless of your update preferences, typically right in the middle of your business day.

Changing the updates to install on shutdown is slightly more challenging than disabling updates (it is hidden in an option about power settings on boot). So guess what people do?
