My computer comes up with the most fascinating and original problems.

Updates to the updates? Seems like there's a new one every 10 minutes or so.

Whilst we're on the subject, does anyone know how to stop the damn Updater from automatically restarting your computer? I hate coming back to my computer after leaving it on at night to see everything I had open is now closed and a Windows message happily blinking to let me know it took the liberty of inconveniencing me.

There's nothing you can do, short of disabling automatic updates. The restart is to protect your computer, because windows becomes highly unstable directly after a patch is installed.
