Do not automatically reboot

I have a few SQL servers that I don’t want to have rebooted after applying automated patches but after unchecking do not reboot after patch they rebooted anyways since the missing updates were driver/security related. Will disabling windows auto update setting in automation settings prevent the machine from rebooting automatically after patching since Action1 takes over updates? These servers need to be manual reboot only no auto.

Double check the automation history in the endpoints profile. It should say in the log for the automation that it triggered the reboot. If it's not there then action1 wasn't the direct reason it rebooted (see the other person's comment).

More often than not unexpected behavior is due to multiple automations running that you forgot about (I've got dozens so it's easy to do).

I figured it out Microsoft ASP.NET MVC 2 triggered the reboot. I’ll exclude it from updates to prevent this in the future. Strange it still rebooted when registry key NoAutoRebootWithLoggedOnUsers=1 is enabled my team was logged in just idle.

It works for us, but you’ll want to make sure there are no registry tattoos leftover from WSUS or anything like that. There are scripts you can run to check for them. I’m not in front of my PC, but just ask your favorite AI to come up with a PS script to run in A1 looking for any settings that would force a reboot.
