ONE way is to go to:
Settings --> Update and Security --> Windows Update (default)
Click on "Active Hours" and set those times how you want them. Windows
will not auto-restart during those times.
Additionally/Alternatively...
Click on "Advanced Options" from the same place and turn ON the switch
for "Pause Updates". This will pause updates for UP TO 35 days. The
text there will tell you the exact date a pause will cease IF you don't
turn it off sooner.
Also, turn on "We'll show a reminder..." switch on Advanced Settings to
get additional warnings PRIOR to auto-download and restarts.
You could ALSO make sure "Semi Annual" is selected rather than
"Semi-Annual (Targeted)". THIS will slow the major updates down some so
that maybe the big stuff will be fixed before you are force fed the
major version updates.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
IF you want to stop updates altogether and ONLY manually get them when
you want them (not recommended for the NON-OCD or forgetful among us),
set your network connection to "Metered".
Here is an article that outlines how to do it on either a wireless or
and wired connection, AND Windows stores sepearte info for EACH
network... So if you set your home wireless or wired connection to
metered, you aren't supposed to get NAY updates UNLESS you do a MANUAL
"get".

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
BUT, IF you JUST want to stop the auto-reboots.... Then set Active
Hours for a 23 hour period... leaving an hour during known sleep or
non-use times when the system can reboot to finish installs.
Hope this helps...

I didn't realise that Win10 Home lacked those update controls, so my
report applies to Pro users only.
Win10 64K Pro is running on the machine I'm using for my engineering
work, tech writing, and email, and I've not been able to tame its
updating. Can you please help me find these settings? I'm losing stuff
when Win10 asks if I want to update, doesn't get a reply, so does it.
AAARGH!
