Installation via Node.js Permanently Disables Windows Update

My issue with this is that the installer doesn't make it clear what you're installing and why you're installing it. A one sentence description for a feature that breaks windows 10 (see other issues on boxstarter about infinite reboots, and being unable to remove boxstarter)

This sounds like a feature.

So which is it, chocolatey boxstarter issue or Node.js installer issue?

This title must be changed if it's not the Node.js installer itself.

chocolatey boxstarter explicitly disables auto updates. You can see the code here: https://github.com/chocolatey/boxstarter/tree/master/Boxstar...

I'm not entirely clear why they need to disable it (they only say "to prevent installation conflicts and minimize the need for reboots") but it's meant to re-enable it afterwards.

And then the discussion ends as they discover Windows just shat all over itself as it tends to do, and Node.js has nothing to do with it.
