Almost anyone who has applied Windows Updates during their day has been annoyed by this issue. Once Windows finishes its update, it asks you to reboot. You click "later". Ten minutes later, a window pops up asking you to reboot again. If you're unfortunate enough to be in the middle of typing, this can actually trigger the "Reboot" button (the default is this button, so simply pressing the space bar while that window is in focus will do it) effectively losing whatever you've been working on. There's a solution for this issue, which is that the length of time Windows waits before hassling you again is configurable. Colin Mackay has the details.
1. I've blogged about this a while back. Thanks for pointing the solution though.
