Windows Store nixed Google Chrome 'app' hours after it went live

you are aware, are you not, that you can tell W10 when to install updates? Including when you are not there to be interrupted

The "Choose When Updates Are Installed" option lets you select between which Semi-Annual update channel to which you wish to subscribe. It does not, however, let you specify a time.

There is no option in my W10 that allows me to tell it when to install updates such as the 3AM default on earlier versions of the OS. The only thing you can do is give it a time window -- except that you can't give it an active time range of more than 18 hours, give it a split time window, or tell it which days -- and even then it still puts popups on the screen over the top of what you are working on DURING the "active hours".

So, when I am watching a training video and Windows decides to reboot without visible warning (because the video is playing full screen) or when it reboots while I run grab a cup of coffee when I'm working later into the evening -- I'm f*cked.
