November 10, 20169 yr Hi Guys, Wasn't sure where to post this. I've tried all the guides I can find. Has anyone successfully been able to stop Windows 10 Pro from rebooting after updates? If so can you please share how to do it? It's driving me crazy. I don't want Win10 rebooting at all without me explicitly doing so. Thanks.
November 10, 20169 yr I don't want Win10 rebooting at all without me explicitly doing so. Wipe and install linux? Have you tried all the different suggestions on this page? http://superuser.com/questions/957267/how-to-disable-automatic-reboots-in-windows-10
November 10, 20169 yr Author I tried the first 2 or 3 suggestions but they didn't work still rebooted last night. Was hoping someone with success could let me know how they did it. If only Linux, my HA software needs Windows.
November 10, 20169 yr I tried the first 2 or 3 suggestions but they didn't work still rebooted last night. I'd expect that, if you read farther down the page there were some changes made with the latest updates to 10 that disabled those. I feel your pain with the HA, the program I'm using (homeseer) only recently got their linux version to a point that I feel comfortable trying it. I'm currently still using a W7 vm to run it, haven't had the time to migrate.

The only reason I haven't switched is one of the plugins I use only recently got rewritten to support the linux version.
November 12, 20169 yr I have this issue with the boys pc, every time he goes to use it i need to restart the server (gtx560 doesnt support softboot) I fixed it by disabling windows update in services: Windows key and the r key then type services.msc and scroll down to windows update and disbale, note: you need to hit properties then disable it in there other wise it will just start again. I then sit there once a week and run all the updates by rein able ing it then searching, windows updates are actually important
November 13, 20169 yr Open an elevated cmd prompt - Win+X menu and then choose Cmd as admin option In it type - 'sc config wuauserv start=disabled' - this disables the windows update service 'net stop wuauserv' - stops windows update service You can also do this from the GUI of course but I find this easier. To reverse this - sc config wuauserv start= auto net start wuauserv I made 2 batch files with these and put them in my path so its easy to stop reboots when I have pending work. Another tip is to open notepad and type something but don't save. When Windows wants to reboot it will ask you to save and halt the reboot - works sometimes.
