How To Stop Windows Update From Automatically Restarting Your by GURUSBEST(m): 8:01am On Jan 07, 2016
Sometimes Windows automatically downloads updates and then restarts your computer, even if you don't want it to at that moment. There's a way to work around this, however, in Windows 10 and a fix for earlier versions of Windows. Get back control of your PC with the steps below.

Schedule Automatic Restarts in Windows 10
After downloading updates, Windows 10 automatically picks a time to restart your computer for you, based on when you tend to not use it (e.g., 3 am), but that would depend on your computer being on at that time. Instead, choose a more convenient day and time for the reboot so the update gets installed and your work doesn't get cut off. Here's how to tell Windows you want to choose the restart time for Windows Updates:

1. Navigate to the Setings menu. You can get there by selecting Settings from the Start menu.

2. Select Update & Security.
