teamnetGetting emails from K following Automatic Updates however I wonder if in many cases this is true. 1. Looking at the Patch Status frame prior to rebooting - there is no indication a reboot is required 2. The machine rebooted without any "Configuring Windows Updates" messages. So, was a reboot necessary? Who knows. If this was done from MS Update I would have reliably known whether or not a reboot was required, now I'm not so sure.
