This, is in addition to the current system, which looks at whether you\u2019re using the device before Windows restarts.<\/p>\n<p>This is a small change from Microsoft, but it is a step in the right direction. Considering Windows 10 was initially offered for free, it still takes quite a bit of flak. Most of this comes from people complaining about intrusive updates ruining whatever it was they were doing at the time. If Microsoft can nail this predictive algorithm not only will it be able to predict whether you\u2019re going the toilet or not, it\u2019ll also put to bed one of the biggest headaches it\u2019s had since launching Windows 10.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sc-related-articles-grey\">\r\n<p class=\"sc-related-articles-grey__title\">More from Softonic<\/p>\r\n  <div
