    So basically windows keeps restarting my computer without my consent.

    Just lost 5 hours work because it needed to restart to update. I never downloaded the update nor did i wish to update.

    How can i block windows from updating/downloading update and notifrying me of updates.

    It seems to only happen when i've loaded up a game, loaded up word/excel...

    Fit to kill someone as a result of this latest update:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

    set NoAutoRebootWithLoggedOnUsers = 1 in registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU

    if you do no know how to use 'regedit' see details instructions here

    Same issue I'm facing because of latest Windows patch. I'm getting irritated because of Windows 10. According to me, Windows 7 is better than Windows 10. Automatically system gets restarted and windows update for 3-4 hours. Because of this issue, my work suffers.
