i guess you should turn off auto updating

It gives you a warning for automatic update shutdown, you can cancel the restart there. You must've ignored it.

you are clearly not a sane individual
any sane individual immediately turns off automatic updates (and UAC) as soon as they install windows or get a new computer

Did you play Tf2 in full screen? It probably would not overwrite that overlay and just display BELOW IT where you can't see it.

That's a really stupid thing to do considering updates can prevent malware and spyware, not to mention common viruses.

that's why you update it instead of letting it do it for you

I just let it update overnight when I lock my computer.

I keep UAC at max because of paranoia that malware code might be injected into a program I download.

It doesen't open over Blockland and apparently not TF2 either, same problem is probably with most fullscreen games.
