This is not the first time i have lost unsaved work due to this annoying function, that almost every Windows user hates. I’m trying to behave, but it is really hard to keep calm after loosing unsaved work multiple times. Why is it that Windows cannot just wait until the user decides to restart at a convenient time? It’s not like the end of the world that users doesn’t restart at a specific time.

In a time where Apple’s Mac is already “stealing” a lot of Windows customers, it is a very risky and dumb feature to add to Windows.

So back to the question. I tried following some tutorials on YouTube, but little did it help obviously, as i just came home and found my computer restarted, and my work deleted. Was this reply helpful? Yes No. Sorry this didn’t help. Thanks for your feedback. When i double click the “No auto-restart with automatic installations of scheduled updates” i get a popup in where i can enable the policy. Though after enabling it, i get asked to set active hours..

All my hours are active. I don’t want any restarts in active or inactive hours. I just want Windows to stop restarting automatically no matter what time it is. I will restart myself when i need it.

It’s not possible to disable the restart, because the changes made by a feature update can only be processed while the computer is not being used. Most software operates this way. I have the same issue. I am running computer simulations on my machine which take hours to days.

You come back to your machine and it has rebooted, hussah! This is my machine and if I want to use it to make a living I don’t want to lose work just because you morons think that an automatic reboot is a funny idea! I don’t want to change active hours. I tried the UpdateOrchestrator option but it already says “Disabled” for reboot, so that obviously doesn’t work. And I don’t have Windows 10 Pro so I can’t use the gpedit option.

What update is it? Only updates like the cumulative ones and cumulative. Plus, it will only ask for a restart after the update cumulative is done downloading and finished installing. Actually, after restarting, then it will counts as a successful install. Normally, Windows will not ask for a restart, or automatically restart, never heard off automatically restart unless it pertains to that update.

I never have that issue before. Well, count me as another who hates it. Giving me no option after downloading and installing an update which does not warn the user of this ahead of time other than to have my computer restart without my consent once my active hours which can only be set to a maximum of 18 hours are over There is no valid reason to prevent users from postponing the restart for as long as we wish, and doing it at a time of our choosing.

Anything else leaves me inclined to disable updates altogether. If they can’t understand that, they’ll be left in Linux’s dust. For those that consider Linux too small a contender for that last sentence to be anything but a joke: consider that Android is just a modified Linux OS, and currently holds the largest market share among all internet-connected devices, having overtaken Windows by Not long after Windows 10 was released, come to think And if you search on Microsoft’s own bing.

That’s more than if you search “Avengers Endgame”, for an indication of how popular the idea of disabling this “feature” is. When a customer asks for something, a smart business doesn’t respond by trying to tell the customer why they shouldn’t want that instead of actually giving it to them. And no, I’m not going to pay for a more expensive version of Windows so that I can use gpedit to disable this stupidity that never should have existed in the first place.

Trying to frustrate me into paying more isn’t a great business plan, either. Choose where you want to search below Search Search the Community.

This alone is very difficult to argue against in a Mac vs. Windows discussion. Luckily for Microsoft Microsoft have secured themselves from a law suit in their policy. MS knows that all Windows users hates this feature, and yet they still have it.
