Hello, Windows 10, automatically 'schedule' a reboot for later. I don't want to use it and disable it permanently, how can I do it.
As sometimes, I need to do quick laptop re-start or shut down, it takes time.
Thanks

You can download a software called Reboot blocker
OR
Easy solution for this annoying problem is with Task Scheduler.
Click Start and type Task Scheduler
Navigate to Task Scheduler Library -> Microsoft -> Windows -> UpdateOchestrator
To disable automatic reboots right-click on Reboot and select disable.
Then be sure change the permissions. Should be set to Read & Execute.
I also disabled automatic updates by disabling all the tasks in this folder.

Disable reboot using below CMD command as an administrator
cd C:\Windows\System32\Tasks\Microsoft\Windows\UpdateOrchestrator && rename Reboot Reboot.backup & rename Reboot_Battery Reboot_Battery.backup & rename Reboot_AC Reboot_AC.backup & rename USO_UxBroker USO_UxBroker.backup & mkdir Reboot & mkdir Reboot_Battery & mkdir Reboot_AC & mkdir USO_UxBroker & copy NUL Reboot\empty_file & copy NUL Reboot_Battery\empty_file & copy NUL Reboot_AC\empty_file & copy NUL USO_UxBroker\empty_fileIf you get access denied error, try this
cd C:\Windows\System32\Tasks\Microsoft\Windows && takeown /F UpdateOrchestrator /A /R /D y && icacls UpdateOrchestrator /reset /T /C && icacls UpdateOrchestrator /T /C /grant *S-1-5-32-544:F && cd UpdateOrchestrator && rename Reboot Reboot.backup & rename Reboot_Battery Reboot_Battery.backup & rename Reboot_AC Reboot_AC.backup & rename USO_UxBroker USO_UxBroker.backup & mkdir Reboot & mkdir Reboot_Battery & mkdir Reboot_AC & mkdir USO_UxBroker & copy NUL Reboot\empty_file & copy NUL Reboot_Battery\empty_file & copy NUL Reboot_AC\empty_file & copy NUL USO_UxBroker\empty_fileOR
If a reboot is scheduled, the following command, run with administrative privileges, will disable the task:
schtasks /change /tn \Microsoft\Windows\UpdateOrchestrator\Reboot /DISABLEKnowing this, you can create your own Scheduled Task to periodically run the above command and disable Windows' insidious little scheme.
