I wish to prevent windows from rebooting after doing an update because sometimes I want to leave my PC performing a task unattended for days on end.
Now before you rush to tell me this is a duplicate of this other SO question, I should point out that A) Most of the (very long) most upvoted answer is devoted to more premium versions of Windows which includes gpedit which Home does not have. B) There are a lot of comments about solutions not working and this may well be date dependant, i.e. some solutions perhaps used to work but don't any more. I think this issue is so important that this question needs to be asked again so that the up/down votes will correspond to the current state of play.
I would also like to add an additional part of the question which is - once I have made the changes necessary to prevent forced reboots, is there some way of telling that I have done it correctly? I.e. some place in windows where it will actually tell me that future reboots have been disabled.
By the way I am asking this question now because I did attempt to follow the prevent-reboot solutions from a variety of sources but my PC rebooted itself last night (12 Jan 2017).
ANSWER FOUND: This is a simple solution that works: windows-10-reboot-blocker.
