We are going to explain how you can continue to work after restarting after updating from Windows 11, so that you can avoid the shutdown. In the event that you do not want to risk your computer, after updating automatically, simply restart to apply the changes, you have two ways to avoid it.
That way, if you’re working on something important and you’ve been away from your computer for five minutes, you won’t find out that an update caused a reboot. You will be able to control all of this from the settings, with two different options that you can use.
Before you begin, you should know that Windows often asks you after an update if you want to restart or continue working. But for these, where you cannot, you have these.
Set active hours
In Windows 11 you can configure the hours that you use the computer so that Windows does not update at those times and waits for idle hours. To configure this, you need to click on the Windows Updates section in Windows settings.
When you enter the Windows Updates section within the Windows configuration, go down through the options that appear in the list and click on the Advanced options that will appear at the end.
Once you’re inside, show the Active Hours options, and when you do, select the Manually Adjust Active Hours option. When you do, you’ll be able to set a start and end time, and Windows 11 won’t refresh during that time.
This prevents unexpected reboots at certain times of the day. But if what you want is to prevent Windows from restarting during any non-active period, then you will have to check the restart options.
Make sure you have windows before restarting
Another option is to not add Windows 11 without permission, and always suggest yourself before doing so. To configure this, you need to click on the Windows Updates section in Windows settings.
When you enter the Windows Updates section within the Windows configuration, go down through the options that appear in the list and click on the Advanced options that will appear at the end.
When you’re here, what you have to do is activate me, you need to notify me when you restart to complete the update option. When you do, every time Windows needs to update, it will send you a notification and give you time to save things so you don’t accidentally reboot and lose files.
