+The following procedure seemed to work, October 2016:
+<nowiki>
+I made changes recently.  Windows 10 downloads updates, applies them, says it will reboot, but it does not.  I hate the threat that it's going to reboot, but I guess the settings I have applied are preventing it.
+Here's what I did...
+) Run 'gpedit.msc'
+) Under "Computer Configuration" -> "Administrative Templates" -> "Windows Components" -> "Windows Update"...
+a) Select "Configure Automatic Updates", select "enabled", select "4 - auto download and schedule the install", check "install during automatic maintenance" and select a time to install.  I also checked "install updates for other MS products"
+b) Under "No auto-restart when logged on users for scheduled automatic updates" select "Enabled"
+) Run "gpupdate /force"
+This seems to work for Windows 10 Pro, which is what I'm using.  I guess if you are running Windows 10 (whatever "home" is called), you're hosed.

+Windows 10 stops responding when trying to unlock screensaver:
+  * Could not find exact problem through web search
+  * Identified all "apps" or programs that I did not want and I uninstalled them
+  * The problem seemed to occur after the large "service pack" type installation that occurred in October, 2016
+Startup Programs:
+  * Press Windows Key + R to open the run dialog.  Then type: ''shell:Startup''
+  * This will open your startup folder. Simply drag your shortcut created earlier into this folder.
