Are you tired of your Windows 10 PC automatically restarting without your consent? It can be frustrating, especially when you are in the middle of an important task. In this blog post, we will guide you on how to stop automatic restart on Windows 10, ensuring that you have complete control over when your PC restarts.

Method 1: Using Windows Settings

If you want to disable automatic restart using Windows Settings, follow these steps:

  • Press the Windows + I keys to open the Windows Settings menu.
  • Click on Update & Security.
  • In the left pane, select Windows Update.
  • Click on Advanced options on the right side.
  • Scroll down and click on Restart options.
  • Toggle the switch next to Use a restart schedule to the Off position.

This should prevent your PC from automatically restarting. However, please note that it might still restart if it’s necessary for installing critical updates. Proceed to the next method to disable such restarts as well.

Method 2: Using Local Group Policy Editor

If you have Windows 10 Pro or higher, you can make use of the Local Group Policy Editor to control automatic restarts. Here’s how:

  • Press the Windows + R keys to open the Run dialog box.
  • Type gpedit.msc and hit Enter.
  • In the left pane of the Group Policy Editor, navigate to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update.
  • Double-click on No auto-restart with logged on users for scheduled automatic updates installations.
  • Select Enabled and click Apply then OK.

By enabling this setting, you ensure that your PC will not restart automatically, even when critical updates are being installed.

Method 3: Modifying the Registry

Advanced users who are comfortable with modifying the Windows Registry can follow these steps:

  • Press the Windows + R keys to open the Run dialog box.
  • Type regedit and hit Enter.
  • Navigate to the following path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU. If the AU key does not exist, create it.
  • Right-click on an empty space in the right pane and select New > DWORD (32-bit) Value.
  • Name the new value NoAutoRebootWithLoggedOnUsers.
  • Double-click on the new value and set the Value data to 1.
  • Click OK and close the Registry Editor.

This modification ensures that your PC does not restart automatically after Windows 10 installs updates.

Wrapping Up

By following one of the methods mentioned above, you can successfully stop automatic restart on your Windows 10 PC. Whether you prefer using Windows Settings, the Local Group Policy Editor, or modifying the Registry, each method provides you with control over when your PC restarts. Rest assured, you will no longer be interrupted during important tasks. Enjoy hassle-free computing!
