If you use sleep or hibernation on your laptop, Windows updates can wake your system overnight, install updates, and restart it without your permission — wiping your entire working session.
In this video, I show how to stop Windows from restarting your laptop automatically by disabling update power management and forced reboots using Group Policy. This prevents Windows from waking the system, running updates unattended, and killing active user sessions.
If Windows ever restarted your laptop overnight and all your running applications were gone, this video explains exactly why it happens and how to stop it.
