Windows 10: Is it possible to schedule all updates/restarts to one day of the week?

I've been having constant performance spikes on my Windows PC, and I think it might have to do with updates in the background and because of all the other device in my home.

Is it possible to schedule all/most updates to one day? I never typically use my devices on Sundays and that would likely really help out if anyone knew.

Thank you!

Startup applications automatically depending on day of the week

As mentioned, in Windows 10, Task Scheduler can be used to schedule a program by day of week. If you want to use Task Scheduler to do this and your program doesn't need to start on login the steps would be the following:

However, the OP appears to be asking how to start a program by day of week on login/startup. Task Scheduler can start a program by day of week OR login but does not appear to allow you to specify both.

To do that you can write a simple VBS script called something like "ExecuteByDayOfWeekOnStartup.vbs" and put it in your Startup folder (Win, type shell:startup. This is based on this microsoft technet answer. on determining the day of the week.

Here's a sample vbs script:

This is easier than the Task Scheduler as it doesn't require going through the wizard for each task and only requires simple editing of one file. It also allows you to easily specify more than one program to start on each weekday. If the program is not in your system PATH then be sure to add the full path name within the quotes.

 

Restart is scheduled

I keep getting a pop-up message that say's "Don't Forget a restart is scheduled for ?? oclock" I have cleared the notifications and restarted my computer 3 times and still get this message. The only difference is the time keeps changing. I don't have any updates listed as being ready to install. The only updates I have listed as installed are for Defender. I didn't have this problem this morning. Anyone else getting this?

Hi Anthony,

We suggest you to schedule a restart instead, after downloading Windows update. To do that, follow the steps below:

• Windows icon.
• Type Settings.
• Click Update and Security.
• Click Advanced options.
• On Choose how update are installed, click the drop down button. See the screenshot below:
