Every Windows user has experienced the annoyance of being in full flow only to get interrupted by a poorly timed Windows Update. With Windows either demanding an immediate restart or worse still, no warning and you lose your work.

With Windows 10 it is now possible to stop these interruptions.

In Windows 10 under the Update and Security settings section, you can now set "Active Hours". Active Hours let you tell Windows when you are typically using the computer and will prevent Windows from restarting during these hours.

To set your Active Hours

  • Click the "Start Button"

  • Click "Settings"

  • Select "Update and Security"

  • Click "Change Active Hours"

  • Set your Active Hours and click Save.
