The updates were never the issue, It was having them get in the way of what you were currently doing.
I would say I don't remember updates bothering me as much back on Windows 7? I don't recall them suddenly shutting down my computer when I was in the middle of a game or work, Only to fail and hold my PC hostage for half an hour..
Windows' approach now being 'everything is a cumulative update, lol' is what I suspect makes it take so long for the updates to actually install now.
I've done massive updates on Linux, sometimes it asks me to restart when it's done, but I've never been forced to, I don't think, unless I'm updating to a whole new version of the OS.
Yeah, I only remember even being asked to reboot after kernel updates, and it isn't forced.
Make sure the "Get the latest updates as soon as they're available" is off. I think it's off by default. That setting will reboot your computer no matter what as soon as the update is done installing.
