Windows 10 updates are extremely important to protect your operating system. In addition, on many occasions they bring new and interesting functions that can be very useful.

What we can do is program the restart of Windows 10 only after each update. This way, when we stop using the PC for a while, Windows will detect that it is inactive and will proceed to reboot to install all updates.
Do you want to know how to configure this option? We will see all the steps you need to follow in detail in the tutorial which you can find below.
How to automatically restart Windows 10 after the update

How to prevent Windows 10 from restarting automatically after upgrade
If what you want is your computer not forcibly rebooting after each update. You will have to do the same as we talked about before, only instead of activating this option, must be deactivated. This way the operating system will not attempt to restart in any way.
Another alternative we have is to go up " Windows Update " gives Windows Settings> Updates and Security. And go to the option «Hours of activity» during the hours configured in this section, the operating system will not restart in any way.
In case it detects that the PC is not used for a while, it will proceed to reboot to install the updates. In the rare event that none of these options work for you. What we can do is disable automatic updates directly.
Ideally, updates should be installed as soon as they become available, as it is essential to keep your computer safe. Remember, to avoid any kind of malware infection, it is important to always keep your apps, operating system and antivirus up-to-date.
Otherwise, we would leave possible vulnerabilities for this class of malicious programs to exploit and infect our computer.
