You say "I’m sort of amazed this actually worked.", but I say "It's Windows, anything strange can lurk down there in the dark". Anyway: I just go to Control Panel --> Windows Update to "Choose how Windows can install updates" and forbid it to reboot the computer without asking me first. I assume there's a reason you didn't go for that solution. Hello there,
