Hey there, I need two distinct answers focusing on different platforms. System 1 is about stopping my PC from turning off automatically under any situation. I’m trying to find a built-in fix without changing Windows or reinstalling anything. My friend wants her gaming rig ready for mining when she’s away, but we’re stuck. I’ve tried registry tweaks and setting active hours, but Windows doesn’t support 24/7 active hours. The only workaround so far is using AnyDesk—it keeps the PC running as long as it stays connected, restarting about 15 minutes after disconnecting. That’s not ideal since I need to stay productive and avoid constant restarts. Is there a task I can run that won’t put much strain on the system and will block restarts like AnyDesk does? System 2 is about preventing all updates ever—no updates, no security patches, not even for a year. I’m thinking of disabling Windows updates entirely, similar to what was done in Windows 7. I don’t care if it’s safe, just that I want complete control over the PC without any interruptions.

I might use one of the programs my grandfather used; I don’t know its name, but it automatically shifts the cursor after some time without activity.

This should definitely be avoided as it poses significant security concerns. Microsoft restricts such actions for valid reasons. I can accomplish this using a WSUS server and control which updates are applied. Have you looked up tutorials online about this?

Using the 20H2 version lets you stop all automatic updates and work manually. It’s not the most refined option, but it stops updates entirely.

Consider configuring the system to resume operations immediately after a restart rather than blocking updates. This approach would be more effective than stopping updates during a reboot. Would starting mining post-restart be a viable alternative?

It might also be done without linking to the web.

The update didn’t work properly and ended with a blue screen. The PC won’t start after the update, I can’t access it through anydesk, and I have to ask someone to bring it back online. This happened before, but now it’s becoming a recurring issue for everyone.

Visit the site and download Linux Mint. Click the download button for Cinnamon. Step 1: Use balenaEtcher to burn the image, then begin installing Linux Mint. Step 2: Embrace the open-source experience. Alternatively, consider the improved version or follow the guide on stopping automatic updates on Windows 10 via Windows Central. Note that M$ addresses this in version 21H1.

The update being installed is for Windows 10. The failure message indicates an issue that hasn’t been encountered before, suggesting it might be an unusual edge case. A full Windows reinstall may be necessary to resolve the problem.
