    Is there any way to turn off my automatic restart option on Windows 10?  I understand it's there for a reason to give me upgrades when they are available, but it is my own prerogative to not want to shut down my computer whenever it wants.  I was given the option to reschedule my shut down earlier this week and scheduled it to restart on Friday.  It's Wednesday- it just restart without my permission or planning.  I lost quite a bit of work and I am so frustrated.  This is not the first time it has happened.  I figured out how to do this on Windows 7 and if there is no option, I think I will revert back to that platform as this is completely unacceptable.

    Hello,

    I'd ask in the Windows 10 forum on Microsoft Community.

    As the Microsoft Community is on a different platform, we cannot move the question for you.

    Once there, click on Participate near the top of the screen, and select 'Ask a Question' or 'Start a Discussion'

    For what it's worth, I close everything and restart when the system wants me to schedule a reboot so that I can ensure I save my work first.

    Hello,

    The TechNet Wiki Discussion Forum is a place for the TechNet Wiki Community to engage, question, organize, debate, help, influence and foster the TechNet Wiki content, platform and Community.

    Please note that this forum exists to discuss TechNet Wiki as a technology/application.

    As it's off-topic here, I am moving the question to the Where is the forum for... forum.
