Has nobody tried the "active hours" setting in updates?
Have people tried it, and it didn't "obey"?
Honest question.
Context of this is that Win10 tries by design/default to do all this business in the dead of night. This of course, is the opposite of what our community needs/wants.
I worked in a PC repair shop for 10 years, but I've never actually run an astro capture/control rig yet (most definately new to this). My Security Cam DVR and File server PCs have never restarted unless I let them. They're nothing but vanilla win10 Pro with the above settings in place.
Worth mentioning however, that certain settings do revert after some updates. Sleep timers (in Power), and Active hours (in Updates), come to mind, and sadly require attention each time.
Aside from the occasional sentiments around who actually owns these devices (myself, or Microsoft), I personally believe Win10 is the best release from them yet. I have 10x Win10 units at home, and my employer runs around 3000-4000. My positive experiences, coupled with this sample size, gives me little to personally complain about.
TL;DR: Win10 is a well meaning kid, who's an occasional smartarse, needing to be slapped back into line every few weeks.
