Windows 10: Windows Update occurs duirng my active hours

Windows Update occurs duirng my active hours. How do I avoid this from happening?









The update occurred during my active hours – I had a document unsaved I wanted to return to it after dinner and entertaining. I came back to my computer before 12pm to save my document and windows had automatically restarted. Document and its content gone, lost forever!

Thank You Windows 10 – You are so great and all mighty – All bow over to Windows 10!

To have a clarity on the issue, we would like to know some information.

• What is the make and model of the PC?
  
• What is Windows 10 version and built currently installed?
  
• Did you setup any task in task scheduler?

If you wish to add more hours or to have an option to turn off the Active Hours, then the feature is currently unavailable on Windows phone. It is best if you can send a suggestion to make the features available using the
Feedback Hub app. To send a suggestion on your Windows phone, you can follow the steps provided below:

• Go to All Apps, search for the Feedback
  Hub app.
• Open the menu icon at the top left side.
• Select Feedback, then at the top right side, tap the
  add button (+).
• Select Suggestionand fill up the box with the details needed.
• Select the right category and then Submit.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask the community.

 

Windows Updates Active Hours

I have Windows 10 and have tried numerous times to set the Active Hours for updates and restart to occur, but I'm continually interrupted within the Active Hours I have set. Are the "Active Hours" time-zone sensitive or what?
