So they clicked ‘try tonight’ in the dialog asking ‘Updates Available - Do you want to restart to install now or try tonight?’. And then macOS did just that. I don’t quite see how that isn’t user-initiated.
Why would they have ‘Download new updates when available’ enabled when they were not planning on installing these updates? I assume that having that enabled causes that dialog to appear in the first place.
I have "Download new updates when available" turned off (as well as the other three options) but my mac still shows me this dialog. This also means it ignores my preference to not download new updates when available.
I am sorry to hear this, however I would not be surprised if someone in the OpenCore/Hackintosh space has (or will produce) a fix, because those systems are sometimes particularly sensitive to updates
