Windows 10: How can I switch off automatic reboots?

It happened again, during a long-running installation (two hours) on a virtual machine on my desktop. Windows decided that nothing important was going on and rebooted because it had just updated itself. Thankyou Windows. I can restart the installation. Another hour lost.


Is there any way that I, the owner of this PC and this copy of Windows 10, can control when reboots should take place? Is there any way to teach Windows that it should stop this patronizing behaviour?


Don't tell me that Windows asks before it reboots. Yes it asks, and if I don't reply because I am not in front of the computer, it just reboots.


Yes I have added my comments to the feedback tool, together with 10000 other people.
