You don't update Windows "when you feel like it", it does when it feels like it. Several times, after delaying the updates so many times because I knew it takes dozens of minutes to apply each time and I didn't want that to happen as I often had to restart my PC or had to let it run in the background, Windows eventually forced me to update the next time I shut down my PC.

I just have the updater scheduled for when I am asleep and it’s no problem.

Yeah but I personally don't want my PC to run at night at a random hour, even one I scheduled, because it requires your OS to constantly half-sleep to be able to boot itself, something I don't want to be the case. When I shut down my PC, I want it to be actually shut down.
