Windows updates = leave buster attacks

OK, this is the second time that I got forced to close league to have my computer shutdown to download windows updates. I am posting this on my phone while the computer performs installation and have to wait to continue my game. Riot, can you do something about this, like a delay on the updates? I never see these coming until I'm restarting. I'm no programmer, but this needs to be brought up if I get hit by leave buster. Finally able to log in. Cutting it short. Thanks.

Spend the literal 10 seconds it takes to disable auto updates. This isn't 1987, no excuses about being computer illiterate. Search engines exist, if you don't know something, take a few seconds to find out. Even in the 80s programs had built in help/guides, and of course so does modern Windows.

Windows even has built in search, all you had to do was search the word update and you can just disable auto updates, Jesus.

Set your windows update to either "Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them" or "Download updates but let me choose whether to install them"

Check it before you play. That's what you do about it. Me personally, I have awful permissions issues that seemingly randomly do not let me play a League game. I just get alt+tabbed out. So I have to check in a custom game before I play to see if it's working, otherwise I risk sabotaging an entire game with 20 minutes of restarting again and again until it works.

While the game loads: I noticed that when I play tf2, there is an explanation after a disconnect message. It says things like "timeout," disconnect by user," "idle" and so on. If valve can do it, riot can too. Back to the game.

Updates:

Leave buster left me alone. I went 6/0 before the updates. 7/4 at the end of the game. If I had stayed, I could have won. The opposing team was able to maximize on my lost time, which helped them win. I am unhappy about this

You are responsible for your own equipment. Disable automatic updates. You deserve LeaveBuster bans.
