Hi,
I'm getting used to Windows 10, its actually quite nice, I will look into customising it.
One thing that caught me off guard however is automatic restart and update. I even had a txt file open where I was making some notes, and I left the computer, and it restarted without even asking me to save! I guess that means Ive lost my notes. Oh well. Can automatic restarts be disabled?
If any of you have links on how to make windows 10 more convenient and user friendly that would be much appreciated.
best wishes,
Juno

1. Press Windows Key + R
2. Type Regedit
3. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU
4. If WindowsUpdate and AU does not exist, you will need to create it. To do that right-click the Windows key and click New and type WindowsUpdate and press enter, then right-click WindowsUpdate and click new and type AU and press enter.
5. Open AU directory and on the right hand pane, right-click and select new DWORD (32-bit) value. Type NoAutoRebootWithLoggedOnUsers and press Enter.
6. Double click NoAutoRebootWithLoggedOnUsers and enter a value of 1
7. Reboot your computer
That's it.
