hi,

based on description, it's suggested disable following setting:
no auto-restart scheduled automatic update installation options

if status of setting is set disabled or not configured, automatic updates notify user computer automatically restart in 5 minutes complete installation.

when registry value set 1, still notified of upcoming automatic restart on sign-in screen. however, @ end of three-day period, 15-minute counter begins if computer locked. restart occurs if computer locked. .
