There has been variety of solutions offered using some script or playing with the registry. Is there a way to stop auto-update and auto-reboot of Windows? How can a person not from a programming background stop reboot?

    In what circumstances? – CaldeiraG May 13 '19 at 08:35
  • It's not recommended. The software which initiates the reboot process initiates it without any delay. So ever in case when you send a command to OS to stop this process some sevices (which already receives the STOP signal) can stop their work - it can produce unstable system work. – Akina May 13 '19 at 08:48

  • Circumstances could be anything, like it does an auto-update and then reboots without checking with the user. How is it relevant to the question? As I described in the question I was hoping for some solution much simpler than playing around with registry. – BePractical May 14 '19 at 09:08

I found a quick fix on some blog to set internet to metered connection. This will stop auto-update and auto-reboot. It is not the best but could be helpful. It might disable some other apps. For the moment it solves the main problem of rebooting without asking the user.
