Registry tweaks to prevent auto-reboot after Win10 Home updates
Windows 10 Home auto-rebooted my system after installing updates while it was unattended and running scheduled tasks. This is annoying and has happened several times. So I tracked down these registry tweaks I found on Google and forum searches, several being posts by TairikuOkami:
Code:reg add "HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU" /v "AlwaysAutoRebootAtScheduledTime" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f reg add "HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU" /v "NoAutoRebootWithLoggedOnUsers" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f
I went ahead and created those 2 keys and 2 values manually in regedit. But I'm wondering what to expect to see happen the next time Windows updates. If I'm working in Windows when updates are downloaded, as I recall I get a notification that Windows updates have been installed and the system will reboot in x minutes along with options to delay reboot. Just what can I expect to see happen now that I'm made those registry tweaks?
I also see an option in 'Settings > Update & Security > Restart Options" labeled "Show more notifications" that states "We'll show a reminder when we're going to restart. If you want to see more notifications about restarting, turn this on." I've enabled this, but with update auto-reboot disabled in registry now I'm wondering what sorts of notifications to expect.
