Windows 10: Windows 10 rebooting at night update restart setting turned off!

Hi there,This problem has become much more frequent lately and I am starting to lose work that is rendering overnight. Windows seems to be rebooting overnight. I don't suspect it's a lack of RAM as I have 128gb and the scenes I'm trying to render have done so just fine previously. I also don't suspect an interrupted power supply. Chrome has restarted itself and restored my windows, but the evidence is that several applications autodesk backburner, parsec aren't running when I get back in the next day.I have "restart this device as soon as possible..." in update settings switched off. ----Dev

Windows updates forcibly rebooting my PC at night

I suggest to check the

1. Task Scheduler to disable auto-restart after installing updates:
   
   • Go to Task Scheduler Library/Microsoft/Windows/Update Orchestrator
     
   • disable the task named Reboot.
     

1. Another good place to check is the Group Policy Editor:
   
   • Go to Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/Windows Components/Windows Update.. and the settings of:
     
   • No auto restart with loggedon users for scheduled automatic updates installations: Enabled
     
2. There is also a place in Windows 10 new settings:
   
   • search Change Active Hours
     
   • click on Restart Options and disable Restart
     

 

Windows Update suddenly hangs?

Windows Update is suddenly hanging for some reason... I went and downloaded and installed the first bunch of updates, restarted when asked, and now when I go back to windows update I just get the window with a white box forever. Reboot and it still does it. This happens to be on my main machine, running windows 7.

I've also noticed when I reboot it says configuring windows update, step 3 of 3, 47%. Maybe it somehow skipped something and is screwed forever?

 

No Night Light

Hi allisonb1

Try these steps

Option 1. Reset Night Light-related Settings on Windows 10 Fall Creators Update

If you find the night light in the Action Center or the Settings is greyed out after the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, you can fix it with the steps below:

Step 1. Use Windows shortcut keys Win + i to open Settings.

Step 2. Go to the Privacy menu.

Step 3. On the left side, choose the Location tab.

Step 4. Click the Change button under the Location for this device.

Step 5. Toggle the switch under the Location for this device to ON.

Step 6. Toggle the switch under the Location service to ON.

Step 7. Restart the computer.

Now check the Action Center or the Settings on your Windows 10 Fall Creators Update to see if the night light feature is available.

Option 2 . Modify Registry to Fix Night Light Not Working on Windows 10 Fall Creators Update

If the methods above didn't work, you may need to modify the registry to fix the greyed-out night light button or the night light not working issue. Note: Windows Registry is a vital database on Windows OS computer. Any misoperation will cause server system
problems, such as 100% disk usage issue, blue screen issue, endless reboot, etc. So it's important to backup registry before the changes.

Now let's kill the night light not working and release the pain:

Step 1. Use Windows shortcut keys Win + R to launch Run.

Step 2. Type into regedit.

Step 3. Hit the Enter key.

Step 4. Copy and paste the path into the address bar of the Registry Editor: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\CloudStore\Store\Cache\DefaultAccount

Step 5. Press the Enter key.

Step 6. Right-click the key $$windows.data.bluelightreduction.bluelightreductionstate under the DefaultAccount and select the Delete to remove it.

Step 7. Right-click the key $$windows.data.bluelightreduction.settings and select the Delete.

Step 8. Restart the computer.

Then you can go to the Action Center or the Windows Settings. The night light not working issue has been resolved now and the night light button is available.
