Effectively prevent Win10 from automatically downloading and updating the computer after restarting it.

Win10 automatically downloads and installs the update automatically, and automatically restarts. However, on the issue of restarting, there is still room for “consulting”. In the settings of the existing Windows update interface, you can select “notify to schedule a reboot", the user can select the reboot time after installing the update. However, if you still need to keep on after the scheduled reboot time, you will have to reschedule the reboot time. But sometimes we don't notice the restart notification, then the reboot will follow the plan, no matter what you are doing, the device will be restarted. How can we prevent this passive situation from happening? Adding a key value to the registry will solve it.

You need to be reminded that the misoperation in the modification process may bring risks to the system. Therefore, you can use the soft media Rubik's cleaning master to back up the registry in advance, so you can be prepared. It is easy to revert to the previous state after the problem.

The specific steps are as follows:

1, enter regedit in the running or Cortana search bar and press Enter to open the registry editor

2. Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE \\Policies\\Microsoft\\Windows\\WindowsUpdate\\AU

3, create a new SWORD 32-bit value, rename it to NoAutoRebootWithLoggedOnUsers (above)

4, double-click to open the above new Value, modify the value data to 1 to complete (as shown above)

This method is an insurance for the automatic restart problem after installing the driver. Also, if you don't want to automatically download and install updates, Pro users can try to make changes in Group Policy. And all users, including Win10 Home Edition users, can also manually download and install updates via the “Setting Tools” option, like Win7/Win8.1.
