That is indeed a problem, and not just with corporate users.

Some years ago I was about to leave a b&b in a faraway town to go on
the next stage of my journey. I needed to be out of the room in ten
minutes, but I thought that give me enough time to check my email
before I left, by three hours later I was still waiting for it to
finish downloading and installing Service Pack 3. 

I cursed Microsoft more on that day than on any other. So the fault is
Windows. Unattended automatic updates are a feature of Windows. There
may be a way of turning it off, but that is quite hard t find.
