Playing video or similar activities definitely counts as active usage. I've come across many tutorials that seem to undermine OS stability by disabling reboots or updates altogether. A word of caution: You might face serious consequences for considering this idea! Cybercrimes are serious offenses. In German, we refer to them as "Kriegsverbrechen," which roughly translates to war crimes. Bot.: How can I extend the countdown timer to two days? Showing the window for two days is obvious—I’ll probably reboot much sooner or disable the countdown so it requires user confirmation. This is crucial for me. Under no circumstances should anyone advise me or anyone else on how to disable updates! This is unacceptable on any networked machine. Thanks to the thoughtful individual who offers a safe and "legal" solution. (I mean it sincerely: Just because something is permissible doesn't mean it's right. Also, illegality doesn't automatically make something bad.) Good intentions are good, but actions must be careful. Security matters always!

I completed the setup so it won't auto-restart. It only downloads the update. When visiting the update center, you can choose to install it then restart. For Windows 10 Pro, you can use the Group Policy editor. This specific policy is available here (but only on Windows 10 Pro...). If you're on Windows 10 Pro, I suggest reviewing each policy related to Windows updates—it contains valuable information: Spoiler

Je ne sais pas. J'ai simplement tapé "group policy" dans la barre de recherche Windows et ça l'a trouvé pour moi. De plus, jamais utilisez "Windows" dans votre langue locale, c'est toujours chaotique, et quand vous déboguez, vous compliquez les choses encore plus.
