    Hi Caylen,

    To actually disable Active Hours requires a Registry fix:

    Click your Start button, type regedit and hit Enter

    In the left pane, navigate to:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\UX\Settings

    In the left pane, click Settings, then in the right pane, right click and choose New - 32-bit DWORD value

    Name that: IsActiveHoursEnabled

    Double click that new item and set its value to 0

    Save that, close the Registry Editor and restart your PC

    That's It!
