Update and shut down and they will restart, update, then shut down, restarting is part of the process.
The issue i have is the very, very frequent update. The only time i face this kind of frequent update is with unstable build of software and game, which kinda says a lot about the windows team.
I last updated last friday or so, now they bitch about update again, which i already delayed for a few days. It’s definitely not once a month in my experience. Windows 11 btw.
With Windows 10, Microsoft started performing a monthly cumulative updating schedule. Every second Tuesday of the month is “patch day” and a new monthly cumulative update is made available.
There are exceptions to this, for security and bug fixes that can’t wait until the next monthly round-up. So perhaps this month was one of those? But trends are that updates are monthly. I can see it being perceived as more often, as the update is forced onto us, with a reboot, which can be frustrating.
Azure servers now support reboot-less updating, hopefully that makes its way to consumer products, but who knows.
Microsoft has always had a bad rep for their OS being full of holes and getting exploited. However some of this was due to users not updating. Microsoft would patch an issue, but huge swaths of unpatched Windows machines would be exploited and used as botnets. I think the forced updates were in response to this situation. Not that I agree with it.

It’s that almost every time for me at least on insider build I click update and shutdown. Wake up in morning and PC is on lock screen not shutdown
It definitely done it once or twice a year or two ago in win10, but not that frequent. Never on win11
Is once a month “very, very frequent”?
Yes. When it’s intrusive
