Since the most recent big Windows anniversary update, the previous option to disable automated reboots on Windows Updates has stopped working. The system gives you the option to set "active hours", but only 12 hours may be set. I'm not against rebooting, but I want it fully on my terms, manually. Is there a way since the anniversary update to disable automated reboot?

Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update and then click the Advanced options button. In the drop-down box, switch the setting to “Notify to schedule restart.”- does not work any longer? – Vojtěch Dohnal – 2016-08-10T10:37:24.7402That option does no longer exist on my system. – private_meta – 2016-08-10T11:40:31.460

Both solution described in the suspected duplicate do no longer exist after Windows Anniversary Update – Aganju – 2016-09-02T00:38:04.140
