How to prevent all Windows 11 auto-reboots and auto-shutdowns?
Select Windows Update from the left sidebar. Click on Change active hours. Set the active hours to the times when you are typically using your PC to prevent reboots during these hours.
WynforI Not what they asked, please don't waste peoples time. If you don't have any IT experience don't comment on topics like this.
WynforI Thats a non-answer as you know well. Thats not what was asked for.
I am in the same situation I find it INCREDIBLY ARROGANT of microsoft to think they have the right to randomly re-boot your PC or laptop at a time of their choosing ! Its INCREDIBLY annoying !
And the sad attempt to re-open things afterwards NEVER WORKS.
Stop controlling my PC, I paid for it, I OWN it, its MINE, DONT TOUCH IT !
Thank you very much for your reply, but sadly, it doesn't quite address my problem.
Unfortunately, there are no typical hours when I use that PC. I mostly am away from the PC, and it is mainly used as a gateway for connections via ssh which perform certain functions. These ssh's are triggered by random, unscheduled events whose dates and times can never be predicted.
And the reason for this answer not quite addressing my question is because I made it clear that I *NEVER* want automatic updates. Trying to fit the "active hours" of these forced updates into "typical" hours is not the same as *NEVER* getting forced updates.
But disabling automatic restart at least improves this hugely less-than-ideal situation a little bit.
Thank you again.
