Type UAC into the Windows 10 search box to get Change User Account Control Settings.
UAC is still there in Windows and will still dim the desktop, but you have the option to turn it off, or at least prevent the screen dimming. In the old days, when you went to do an install, the screen would suddenly dim and everything seemed to come to a halt, causing several (anecdotal, probably fictional) heart attacks amid the populace. Select Ease of Access Center > Set up Sticky Keys and uncheck the box next to "Turn on Sticky Keys when SHIFT is pressed five times."Įver since Windows Vista, User Account Control (UAC) has been there to protect users so they can quickly grant administrative rights to software programs that need it-specifically when installing or uninstalling software. Prevent it from ever happening by hitting the Shift five times rapidly to bring up that very dialog box. If you activate it without knowing-you'd have to hit "yes" in a dialog box without thinking-it can be seriously annoying. If you hit the Shift key five times in a row, you activate Sticky Keys, a Windows feature that allows for keyboard shortcuts where you hit one key at a time instead of simultaneously (so it works with any combo that includes the Shift, Cntrl, Alt, or Windows keys). (Windows 10 may also change this setting back read on at ExtremeTech for how to prevent that.) Another option: freeware program shutdownguard will stop the restarts for you. This doesn't stop the installation of Windows updates, but it will stop the reboot so you can do it on your timetable. In the middle pane, right-click on Reboot and select "Disable" from the menu. In the left pane, click Task Scheduler Library and then navigate to Microsoft\Windows\UpdateOrchestrator.
But our brethren at ExtremeTech also found a solution via blogger Winaero: It involves going to Administrative Tools in the Control Panel (just type "Administrative Tools" into the Windows 10 search box). You can take advantage of a feature called Active Hours, which lets you schedule a time for reboots.
