Never auto-restart while you're signed in

ServicesSafe riskReversible

Sets NoAutoRebootWithLoggedOnUsers = 1 so Windows Update will not automatically reboot the machine to finish installing updates while a user is signed in — it waits until you restart yourself. Updates still download and install; only the forced reboot is suppressed. Reversible.

How MaxTweaks applies this

MaxTweaks applies this tweak with one click and snapshots your original setting first, so you can revert it cleanly at any time. A System Restore point is offered before batch changes, and every tweak links to its official source.
