    How do you stop Windows 10 from rebooting while working on VMs?


    So I run VMs (VMware) off my Windows 10 Host OS, Win10 updates and reboots regardless if my VMs are running and regardless of how much data i'll loose due to this stupid oversight... per the update settings it shouldn't reboot as I've still got programs running in VMs.


    Does anyone know of a way to force the host OS to stop rebooting if a VM is running?

    :)

    DTS supported natively by Windows 8/8.1 and it should work on windows 10 too just DDL require to unlock your driver .

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    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
