    How do I prevent Win10 rebooting during the night ?


    I am copying a large amount of data to the network, and doing this overnight.

    Frustratingly, Windows 10 has decided to reboot a few times during the night and this has caused the copy to stop etc.

    I already renamed the Reboot file to Reboot.old in this directory:
    C:\Windows\System32\Tasks\Microsoft\Windows\UpdateOrchestrator

    What else can I do to stop Win10 from rebooting ?
    (Win10 Pro, latest)

    Cancelled Win10 upgrade reservation, but DL starts on every Win8.1 reboot

    I followed the steps to cancel the Windows 10 reservation for my system. The icon was in my tray and I followed the steps to properly cancel.

    Every time I would run Windows Update, the upgrade for Win10 was there and checked as an optional item. I would uncheck it and try to download required patches instead. Windows wouldn't cooperate and would DL the upgrade for W10 to my system.

    Searching the Net, I found a tip about uninstalling KB3035583 to prevent this reservation. Ok, uninstalled that KB. Win8.1 STILL wants to upgrade and DL the file on reboots!!

    What else do I need to do to cancel this reservation AND to fix my Windows Update so it's not trying to DL Win10 anymore? Help? Suggestions? Tips?
