Is NoAutoRebootWithLoggedOnUsers still supported/effective on Windows 10?
Note: something similar has a good answer here How to disable automatic reboots in Windows 10?. This is not the same because I'm explicitely looking for information about a different option.
Plain and simple question: Is NoAutoRebootWithLoggedOnUsers (registry value) still supported/effective on Windows 10? This option is gold for me, because it allows complete and automatic updates installation (as per default) but prevents the autoreboot step.
The equivalent no auto-restart with logged on users for scheduled automatic updates installations gpedit policy is present, so I would expect NoAutoRebootWithLoggedOnUsers to be supported too.
I'm getting mixed feedback after NoAutoRebootWithLoggedOnUsers is applied: someone says it's effective, someone reports not. Is there a semi-official reference for it?
Thanks!
Solution 1:
Ok, I found out that NoAutoRebootWithLoggedOnUsers
is not sufficient. The corresponding gpedit policy, No auto-restart with logged on users for scheduled automatic updates installations
, clearly states that the setting has no effect unless Configure automatic update
is also set.
This is my writeup (in italian, sorry) on the matter:

For those interested: a ready-to-use .reg
with all the needed settings to prevent automatic reboots is here:

Any feedback is welcome.
