Hi,
I have browsed this forum but found so far no real solution:
It has happened to my now several times that I was running tasks over extended periods of time only to come back to my PC the next morning to find Windows 11 had done an automatic reboot! So not only the tasks weren't finished, worse, lots of preparatory work was lost!
I don't want Windows to ever automatically reboot after an update. Never. Ever. Period. I want to be informed about updates, that's fine, and I keep Windows 11 up to date, but under no circumstances ever is it acceptable that Windows just shovels an update on my PC and disrupts overnight tasks and REBOOTS(!) my PC all by itself.
So it would be very helpful if somebody could tell me how to disable these automatic update reboots once and for all. I don't want to "pause" Updates (I absolutely want updates, I just want to control myself when the updates are done) and resetting "work hours" is of no use unless I can set it to 24 hours.
Best regards
Nick

wow I made a real mistake buying windows for video editing. Their reboots are going to put me out of business. My software is in the middle of a render and I check on it and its some ridiculous log on because it rebooted when I DID NOT tell it to. My do microsoft engineers and managers hate me?
I add the key and going to disable the batch disablereboot.bat.
The batch was working with some glitches, but, no more reboots,
Will try this solution and comment the results,
I sure hope this works.
