Default What else do you do when setting up a new Win10 desktop from scratch?

No, that's different.


Thanks for suggesting folks who set up Windows 10 consider these two
different tasks:
a. Prevent reboot upon update, versus,
b. Prevent reboot upon system crash.

If you go to System Properties, select the Advanced tab, there will be 3
sections there. The third section is titled "Startup and Recovery", with
a Settings button. Click Settings, then on the next screen find the
"System failure" section. The second option there should be
"Automatically restart", and it's checked by default.


Got it. Just did it. Here are the two distinct disabling reboot sequences
for the tribal knowledge record.
================================================== ==========================
To disable autostart after updates:

1. Open the control panel as admin:
RMB-Start Windows PowerShell (Admin)
2. Then run the control panel applet from that admin command line
C:\Windows\System32\control.exe
3. Bring up the task scheduler from within the Control Panel:
CP: System and Security Administrative Tools Task Scheduler
4. Open the "Update Orchestrator inside the task scheduler library:
Task Scheduler Library Microsoft Windows UpdateOrchestrator
5. Disable reboot after updates:
Right click on the task named "Reboot" & click "Disable" to disable it.
================================================== ==========================
To disable autostart after crashes:

1. Pop up the Control Panel again:
RMB-Start Run control.exe
2. Open the "System Properties" "Advanced" tab
System and Security System Advanced System Settings
3. Bring up Startup & Recovery settings:
Startup and Recovery Settings
4. Uncheck the system failure automatically restart option:
System failure
[x]Write an event to the system log
[x]Automically restart
OK OK
================================================== ==========================

Should *you* disable that option? I don't know. I'm just saying it's
something that I do because if there's a crash, I want it to be in my
face so that I can track down the cause and fix it.


I've created the sequence for both in the same file since they're similar.

Thanks.
