thats on you. not riot... you can schedule your pc updates to run when you arent using the computer and most of the time it pops up a window that there is an update (unless you have automatic updates selected) and you can chose when to restart your computer. it will let you postpone.

If you mean to counter the penalty, that's most likely a no-go. You left the game for an extended amount of time that negatively affected other players and so it would most likely stand as Riot is not responsible for player's computers.

To avoid it for the future; you can go into computer settings and set it to not update until certain times. Like mine is set to do it at around 5AM or so when I am typically not going to be on my PC

Rior doesn't adjust the leaverbuster penalty sorry

Check when your system updates and consider changing it to 2 or 3 am

Turn off automatic updates and manually update your computer once a week. Or look for an option to disable the restart.
