Windows 10 & 11 will automatically update your computer as needed and will then reboot it on its own to finish the update procedure. If you leave your computer on then it will restart it whether you want it to or not, usually in the middle of the night when you are not using it. If you want to prevent these automatic reboots from happening, then you can use a quick registry edit for Windows Home edition or the Group Policy Editor for Windows Pro.

Here are the steps from the video.

WINDOWS HOME OR PRO

Open the Registry Editor

Navigate to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows

Add a new Key called WindowsUpdate to the Windows key

Add a new Key to the WindowsUpdate key called AU

Create a new DWORD (32-bit) Value in AU called NoAutoRebootWithLoggedOnUsers

Double click NoAutoRebootWithLoggedOnUsers and change the value to 1


WINDOWS PROFESSIONAL

Gpedit
Navigate to Computer Configuration - Administrative Templates - Windows Components - Windows Update (Windows 10)

Navigate to Computer Configuration - Administrative Templates - Windows Components - Windows Update - Legacy Policies (Windows 11)

Enable No auto-restart with logged-on users for scheduled automatic updates
