The simplest way to prevent windows 10 from auto-installing updates [duplicate]

Solution 1:

The easiest way to fix the auto update issue is to set Hours of Operation. Set Hours so that updates are done in Off Hours.

There is no need for Windows to restart in the middle of your work and using Off Hours prevents this.

I do this and Windows 10 does not restart in the middle of my work.

If you need to, updates can be paused (will not install) for 7 days. That may be helpful to you so that you can schedule time for updates.
