But when Dell sends updates on their own, if I decline to install them at the moment, the ONLY option is a no-warning reboot exactly 24 hours later. My older Dells never had this issue - how hard can it be to figure out what you have changed? I mean really! Signing out and back in randomly is not how computers are supposed to work. I do not have keyboard caching turned on, so WHY Dell feels it is OK to capture and record my mouse movements is troubling - but having the touchpad randomly malfunction, which has caused loss of work on multiple occasions, is really messed up. There is some kind of caching function - when the touchpad stops working, signing out and signing back inagain often works, while restarting does not.
