    Windows 10 Feature Update with WSUS - disable automatic restart after 15 minutes


    Good Morning,


    we just configured our WSUS Server ( 2016 ) to deploy feature updates to clients.

    It looks like this:
    1. Client contacts wsus to get feature Update

    2. Client downloads and installs feature update automaticly

    3. After installation is complete a restart alert is shown to restart the pc in 15 min.
    User can only choose between "restart now" and "close". Its not possible to delay it.

    Now our problem is:
    We use GPOs to prevent automatic restart if user is logged on and it works with normal updates.
    It looks like feature updates ignore our group policies.


    Client registry looks like this ( as a result of our gpos):

    At this point i am pretty much out of ideas to prevent the auto restart...

    Any ideas how to solve it ? Thank you very much!

    Kidn regards

    (how to disable automatic restart) rant about automatic updates and Windows 10 in general

    OMG!

    I've just been notified by my new Windows 10 system, that it's going to restart itself in 15 minutes. It gives me the option to restart now, or wait for it in 15 minutes.

    Why in the world does this happen without user control or permission?

    How can I disable it? I'm perfectly capable of restarting my own system, at a time that's convenient for me.

    Please tell me how to disable this ridiculous feature.

    Thanks.

  3. My computer restarts itself after 15 to 20 minutes

    are you running WIN XP/Vista?

    If so , disable the automatic restart feature so that you can see a BSoD, if it's applicable; copy the info on the BSoD and post it up here, too.

    If you do have auto restart disabled, and the whole system restarts, it's typically a hardware issue of some sort.
