When I set up Windows to encode a video overnight, and I wake up the next morning and the encode isn't finished because Windows decided to restart in the middle, I'm not happy. This basically means I can't use Windows to encode videos, period. (And no, setting Active Hours doesn't work, because the whole point is I want the videos to get encoded when I'm not active!)

The same applies to downloading large files, etc. I realize that updates are important, but it's even more important that I can actually rely on my computer.

You get a notification when Windows plans on restarting somewhere in the future. I just click on it and manually set the restart date 1 week in the future. That's it.

I'm also leaving the computer on for weeks and never had an unexpected reboot with this protocol.

This doesn't work if it's been a while since I last booted into my Windows partition. Windows immediately decides I'm past the point where I can defer. It does show a notification immediately beforehand, but if I'm asleep that isn't useful.

You can disable the Reboot task present under Task Scheduler Library > Microsoft > Windows > UpdateOrchestrator in the Task Scheduler app

I haven't had a Windows 10 computer just randomly reboot and I work with about 30 PCs.

Respectfully, if you're using the PC's for work I'm guessing they don't get turned off (or stay in alternate OS's) for extended periods.

I'll take a look at task scheduler, thanks.
