Troubleshooting by windows server 2019

Hi Community,
I need your wisdom to stop windows server 2019 from rebooting on its own.

I believe that the reboot is caused by windows update because I saw the following code in the logs

 

Service pack (Planned)
Reason Code:0x80020010

 

I reboot once every two weeks using task-scheduler.
But the day after the reboot, it rebooted itself again!

I checked the GPOs applied using gpresult /H and found the following

 

Specify an automatic restart deadline to install updates
Quality Updates : 14
Feature updates : 14

 

Configure Automatic Updates: 4
Installing during automatic maintenance
Disabled

 

Allow automatic updates to be installed immediately
Enabled

Is there any setting that is missing?

    Some updates Microsoft deemed as critical will bypass this, it will do the install and reboot. If you can't live with this then perhaps you could stand up a site WSUS where you'll have complete control over updating procedures.
