    Windows 10 checked for updates during active hours...


    I have my Change Active Hours set from 8am to 11pm and the "Automatically adjust active hours for this device based on activity" is off.

    Why would Windows check for updates at 10:25am today?!?
    You're up to date.
    Last Checked: Today, 10:25am

    Should I turn that Automatically adjust active hours switch back on??

    Using Windows version 1909

    :)

  2. Installing Updates and Restarting During my Active Hours?

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    We understand the inconvenience caused to you as the Active Hour feature is not working as it should be.
    In order to get clarity and to assist you accordingly, please reply with the answers to the questions below.



    • What is the Windows 10 version and Build installed? (Type
      winver in Windows search/Run command)

    Meanwhile, we would suggest you to perform these steps and check if that fix the issue.



    Configuring active hours with Group Policy.



    Please refer the section for Configure active hours
    and make the changes accordingly. If the PC installed with Windows 10 Pro then follow the steps under

    Windows 10 Home then follow steps under Configuring active hours through Registry
    from this article: Manage device restarts after updates.



    Note: Important this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify

    How long did you wait for activation?
    When I re-installed with a fresh install... it took a few hours to sync and activate.
    However, it did, finally, activate.

    DOWNLOAD WINDOWS 10 NOW - Upgrade and ISO direct from microsoft

    Click to expand... Yeah I went to that site, why do I need to buy a key?
    I won't buy a key, stupid.

    I'll revert back to windows 7 then.

    When I still was on windows 7, about a year ago I added 4GB extra ram which is a total of 8GB now,
    is that causing the problem?
