Is there a way to block the automatically shut down for minor updating? See what Dec. 26, 2013 reviewer said.

There is, you can set it so updates do not automatically install. Unfortunately on this setting, you'll have to manually install updates. A nice compromise from earlier Windows is that you have the ability to defer update installation.

The upgrade will come in a manner of an "update" so when it appears, just click on accept and it will in the background until it ask to restart the machine, that's it

you must first turn off any virus protection, then you download using the autorun that should work

Hello Kelly ... It's supposed to shut the Surface down when you close the cover, and restart it when the cover is opened. This feature does not work and should not be a factor in buying this product.

Hello, as far as I know the updates are free for life and it did need one update when I checked but I had it up and running before I did any updates.

No, I didn't want auto shut-off, but it is available at Amazon. I saw it when I got mine.

I found nothing in the manual about turning it off. They list the following number for questions 1-800-955-0959 in the manual.

Hi Donna, if a software update is available, under settings, then you can go ahead and update it. -Vincent

I am sorry I didn't have that prob as I use auto update but I looked and it hasnr had or ask for a update since I bought it and over 3 months not a update.

it is push button - you wouldn't want to keep it turned off anyway, as your system will register it as a failed node

Yes, if you allow it. You can program if off. I did. It announces as your directory list is stored. Could be annoying.

No, there website says N/A. Also, Amazon should remove it from the automatic shutoff selection.

I am having the same problem. I don't know what it is or how to stop it. I thought maybe I didn't let it run long enough after I installed it, but with continued use, it's still happening.

True. I received an alert from Bad Elf recommending I NOT update my Operating System. They are working on a fix but as of April 24, 2015, they don't have it yet.
