I am looking for a way to suppress Windows Updates while Autodesk installs and updates run, since Windows will walk all over other updates and force a reboot that jacks everything up.
I found this which has me thinking I could use PowerShell to set ActiveHoursStart = Now-1 and ActiveHoursEnd = Now+10, then when my work is done set everything back to something reasonable, like active hours of 6AM to Midnight (architects work RIDICULOUS active hours). My question, before I go down this rabbit hole, is; are settings pushed to the registry immediately in force, or is this read at logon or something, so without a reboot I haven't solved the problem?
