I'm not sure if the problem was a crash or a forced reboot by Windows Update (the latter would surprise me), but if the latter then in addition to BR's:

If one really wants auto updates then whether one gets an auto restart or not following an auto update can be easily configured in the Local Group Policy Editor and has been able to be so in all Windows versions since at least XP.

It's in Local Computer Policy>Windows Components>Windows Updates and the setting to edit is "No auto-restart with logged on users for scheduled automatic updates installations". (To get to Local Group Policy - Run gpedit.msc or for Win 8 is quicker to just type gpedit.msc on the Start Page.)

If "Enabled" the computer waits for the user to restart the computer.
