Today, in the middle of my online midterm, my computer decided to update and closed out of the test. It can't be retaken. FML

Doesn't it usually warn you before it does?

At least with my computer and those goddamn microsoft updates, if you "postpone" about three times (it changes), it apparently gets fed up with waiting and chooses to restart and update itself, regardless of what you are doing. Luckily I've never had anything this terrible happen... my instances were usually after finally finishing a ridiculously difficult part of a videogame, and happening before I could save. Or, as has happened once and made me want to throw my computer, it shut down AS IT WAS SAVING. Corrupted savefile. One hundred + hours of gameplay in skyrim... gone. Bye-bye, level 67 vampire lord/thieve's guild leader/dark brotherhood leader/archmage of winterhold/ hero of solstheim/ alduin slayer/weilder of every daedric artifact. You will be missed...

Same here! It's my greatest fear that during a test or a lecture, that my computer will restart out of nowhere because I kept on postponing the updates...

Has anyone thought that OP might be taking said test in a school? I've had online tests in school before, therefore he might not have access to the auto-restart options.
