Thanks! How can I postpone the restart by more than one hour?

Your screen shot show "Wait an hour" Another thing I see sometimes is "Pick a time" Look for that. Windows 11 however and I cannot recall about Windows 10 at this point.

"If your machine is an individual machine, updates will happen": No, you can activate the relevant group policy, NoAutoRebootWithLoggedOnUsers, to prevent forced reboot as long as a user is logged on. There is no time limit. If group policies are not available, there are equivalent registry settings. In the case of the OP, W10 Pro, policies are indeed available.

There were some provisos in the article you posted. (a) Restart must occur for the updates to take affect; (b) other app updates cannot be processed in this state; (c) I think (not certain) that you would have to activate this policy prior to updates getting in this state.

@John: Just try it instead of challenging it a priori, you'll be convinced.
