Should computing devices update their operating systems and installed apps while not in use?

@evan Qualified no, I don't trust a computer to update properly unless I'm staring at it. In my experience, whenever a computer updates and I'm not looking at it, it gets into a strange state I can't recover from because I don't know how it happened.

That said, if other people want their computers to update while they aren't paying attention, it's fine if that's an option for them, as long as I still have the option to watch mine.

Every time my personal laptop updates, it forgets how to wifi. I have to uninstall/reinstall drivers to get it working again. I've got a bone stock Dell laptop - as vanilla as it gets. If Mickeysoft can't even get that right...
