How to disable Windows 11 automatic reboots?

That doesn't work. Like at all.

Please stop posting answers to this that everyone knows are inaccurate. Even if it did work (which it doesn't), there is criteria attached to your answer (i.e. "With logged on users") that disqualify it as a correct response here. Please delete your incorrect reply, and stop polluting the results the rest of us are so desperately trying to find

What we want is something like the solution for Win10, which was to delete the actual Reboot file from C:\Windows\System32\Tasks\Microsoft\Windows\UpdateOrchestrator, but that doesn't work in Winbloze 11.

That doesn't work. Like at all.

Unfortunately, that is the truth. That does not work. At all.

I want to prevent Windows 11 from rebooting without my consent. Why is it so difficult for Windows 11 to just get this simplest of requests right: DO NOT EVER REBOOT WITHOUT PERMISSION? I don't get it? Why is Windows 11 behaving like psychotic Alex in FATAL ATTRACTION and assumes the position of "knowing" what is right? I (and most other users) don't want Windows 11 to reboot without explicit consent. What is so hard to understand about it? Why is that even a thing that has to be discussed in a forum?

Make a batch command file eg. disablereboot.bat, i.e. Open notepad and paste the code below:

for /f %%i in ('powershell "((get-date).Hour+18) %% 24"') do set startHour=%%i
for /f %%i in ('powershell "((get-date).Hour+12) %% 24"') do set endHour=%%i
 
reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\UX\Settings /v ActiveHoursStart /t REG_DWORD /d %startHour% /f 
reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\UX\Settings /v ActiveHoursEnd /t REG_DWORD /d %endHour% /f 

Save the file anywhere on your computer like C:\MyStuff\disablereboot.bat

Then use Task Scheduler:

Press the windows key + R at the same time and in the prompt type:

taskschd.msc

and configure to run the code Daily and repeat every hour for 1 day, i.e.:

in the right panel click Create task

name it whatever way you want in the General tab

In the Triggers tab create a new one with the contents below:

Daily, repeat task every 1 hour for duration at: 1 day

in Actions click in new with the action Start a program and in the browse locate your previous saved bat file, in this example, C:\MyStuff\disablereboot.bat.

This will keep changing your working hours so that it is never not a working hour. This way you will never get an auto reboot and you can choose yourself when to reboot.

Still waiting on an actual solution to this as well. I'm tired of losing work and time because of it.

Typical Microsoft hogwash - posting a complicated method that doesn't work. Windows is nothing but a circle of dysfunction. This is why people use Apple Mac.
