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?

Setting your Active Hours takes effect immediately. Which is the reason the answer to this duplicate question here works. You are looking for the one with the batch script by the way.. Since there isn't a better solution than the existing solution I flagged this question as a duplicate (this is a positive thing), your issue, will be linked to the duplicate.
