NANY 2017: MMAHW! (Make My Active Hours Work!) - Cancelled
app103:
To the best of my knowledge, answer #5 here, works well, and involves setting up a scheduled task that runs every 10 minutes and disables the scheduled task that is the automatic reboot task, after an update. I made only one change to the task, and that is for when that task starts running (at startup instead of some specific time of day set by original author).
No additional scripts, .bat files, or programs are needed, other than just importing this scheduled task, and manually running it the first time (or rebooting).

That particular script solves a different problem, i.e. disabling reboots. The purpose of this program was to allow you to set your active hours to longer than 12 hours,

But what would be the actual reason for why anyone would want to do that, if not to prevent unwanted, unexpected, forced reboots? :tellme:

I don't care if it reboots. If I turn off reboots, then I'm likely not to do it for a long while. And if it installs and doesn't reboot, no other windows installer based installers will work because it will have pending installer actions. I just want to shorten the window. Right now I have it so it doesn't reboot, and a few times I've either not been able to install something, or had strange effects because I haven't rebooted yet.

That's an effect I had not considered, mainly because I have not experienced that, myself.
