From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Neat. Maybe they've changed it since I last used it. Still not going back though.
They have not changed it. You still just can configure a range of time where its not allowed to reboot. So OP is simply no power user, or is just lying. I sadly still need to use Windows on my working machine, and the forced update+reboot happens minimum once a month.
i do see the update icon but it doesnt just restart the pc by itself.
but it still restarts at all.
