  1. How can I prevent Windows 10 from restarting without my consent?


    Everytime there's an update and the OS thinks I'm idle (nevermind that I'm watching a film, browsing the internet or just been gone for a minute, it restarts without asking.

    I've disabled the automatic restarts in the Windows settings (Advanced options\Update options\Restart asap > disabled), and I've altered the registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU\NoAutoReboot (set to "1").



    I've even installed gpedit and set Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Update to "Configure Automatic Updates" and "No auto-restart".



    What more can I do?

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
