"Block shutdown while recording" overruled by Windows Update

I have Windows 10 set for automatic updates, and last night it restarted for an update while I was recording a show. Can NPVR prevent this or do I have to turn off automatic updates?

IMHO you should always turn off auto-update, even if Ntray is able to block shutdown/restart while recording it is just as bad to have a forced restart in the middle of PostProcessing.bat

When you upgrade, the Ntray does not start. You have to Stop NPVR / Start NPVR or close/reopen the session or reboot in order to get it to run.

I was mistaken. I didn't upgrade until yesterday morning and the reboot happened the night before, so NTray was definitely running. I guess I will just change Windows Update to "Notify" but I like to run my server "unattended" so automatic updates are preferred.
