There appears to be no straightforward way to permanently stop Windows 11 Home from rebooting on its own after installing updates. I looked for workarounds but so far I have only found a script that has to run on a schedule to block the reboot by changing “working hours”. (Link.)

Is that really the best that is possible?

    Does this prevent other running programs from getting the WM_CLOSE signal (or whatever the signal sent when the computer tries to shut down is)?

    Also, Windows 11 Notepad seems to have no problem closing with unsaved text. I think it saves it to a temporary location. Do I have to get legacy Notepad back? (I’ve found instructions for doing that.)
