Windows 10: Automatic Windows restart despite gpedit set to 'no auto-restart with logged on users'

Version: Windows 10 Pro NAs the title says, my Windows device is configured by the Group Policy Editor to *not* restart automatically, yet Windows Update is forcing my device to do so anyway. This is problematic, as I let tasks such as virus scans and HDD defragging run overnight, prior to restarting, and I absolutely do not want to wake up to find these tasks interrupted, because Windows decided to restart despite explicitly being setup to not do so.Why is Windows Update forcing a restart despite not being allowed to, and how can I fix this?
