    The only problem is that it consistently doesn't work, no matter how I do it, across four different machines, so I can be pretty sure it's not a machine issue. But thanks; I just wanted to ask someone else to see if they were having the same problem.

    Is it Enterprise or PRO? Does it have local or MS account?

    Know what? I just started my virtual machine with windows 10 MS and logged with MS account and it have the same behavior as yours.
    Switch to local account and everything will work.
    I think it's MS bug, nothing to say.

    Edit: After switching it back to MS account, it still working, just for fun.

    I have never seen this task to re-enable itself, but then again, I do not use Windows Update and I disable all tasks.

    sc config wuauserv start= demand
    schtasks /DELETE /TN "Microsoft\Windows\UpdateOrchestrator\Schedule Scan" /f
    schtasks /Change /TN "Microsoft\Windows\UpdateOrchestrator\Reboot" /Disable
    schtasks /Change /TN "Microsoft\Windows\UpdateOrchestrator\Refresh Settings" /Disable
    schtasks /Change /TN "Microsoft\Windows\UpdateOrchestrator\USO_UxBroker_Display" /Disable
    schtasks /Change /TN "Microsoft\Windows\UpdateOrchestrator\USO_UxBroker_ReadyToReboot" /Disable
    schtasks /DELETE /TN "Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\Scheduled Start" /f
    schtasks /Change /TN "Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\sih" /Disable
    schtasks /Change /TN "Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\sihboot" /Disable
    thanks for this, after a big update it re enables itself, although I try to disable the updates several times, when I reboot manually the updates start to install. This is way easyer than doing it with the task scheduler.

    Unfortunately since 1709 MS made sure, that the task, checking for updates, can not be disabled.
    So I have removed some permissions and it fails to run, but manual checking should work just fine.
    Code:
    takeown /f "%WINDIR%\System32\UsoClient.exe" /a
    icacls "%WINDIR%\System32\UsoClient.exe" /remove "Administrators" "Authenticated Users" "Users" "System"

    Hello tannim, :)

    What is broken about active hours for you?

    Active hours lets Windows know when you usually use this device. When a restart is necessary to finish installing an update, Windows won't automatically restart your device during active hours.

    Well, for one, it doesn't let you set the active hours to 24 hours a day to prevent Windows from rebooting when it feels like.

    I also found the following, you can disable the "Reboot" scheduled task in the Task Scheduler Library->Microsoft->Windows->UpdateOrchestrator scheduled tasks folder, see here for a complete explanation: How Easily Disable The Automatic Forced Reboot after Windows 10 has done an Update Four easy... - justpaste.it
    Got an update to this procedure from 8 years ago? It seems the interface has changed (surprise!). UpdateOrchestrator is now under "Actions" and has nothing named "Reboot" under it.

    There's a much much easier way to deal with this, which I posted a couple of weeks ago.
    Simply download and run 'Don't Sleep' (freeware, small) - or similar.

    This optionally blocks sleep, hibernation, restart, shutdown.

    So if you want your PC on for 24 hrs (active hours is limited to 12 max)- run this. No messing about with the registry or services.

    I had a restart pending.. and with this running, it was still pending after the expiry of my active hours period.
    This looks good. But the web page says it also prevents your system from taking any power saving measures.

    Glad I could give you a little laugh.... Um, can you explain the joke? Is it that many have tried to prevent Win10 from rebooting, but none have succeeded?

    Well, for one thing... the implication is that you're 'active' for 24 hours! Wow.. stuck in front of a PC all that time?

    There are other tutorials related to controlling update-related restarts. Mine never restart arbitrarily... e.g. only when I'm expecting it e.g. as part of a known update sequence which I've allowed, or when I restart manually.

    OK, there's the maybe once in a year or two BSOD ...
