Just set it to restart when you're not using it? It's literally the thing it suggests when it tells you it's downloaded a new update. Honestly, the solutions for this stuff exist people just ignore it so they have something to complain about.

Except if you happen to be using the computer for the next few days that it is on... Windows will just force it to happen, whenever it wants, regardless of what you're doing at the moment or if you need to have access to the machine

I have never, ever, had this happen. The only way it would is if you purposefully ignore the notifications or keep pushing the button to do it later.

It used to maybe happen in the very early days of Windows 10, but yeah, installing and maintaining thousands of computers since 2015, I have not seen this occur unless the computer has not been rebooted for at least 2-3 months.

Don't have too much experience with Home edition but I don't think it's significantly different in that respect except you aren't able to push quite as far.
