Windows 10 has this annoying habit of restarting or scheduling restarts at the wrong time. A restart is fine for most users, but could be a problem for power users, or those who heavily use their PC or device through a day.
Luckily, Microsoft has added an option to set a custom restart time.

You can do so by opening up Settings, navigating to Windows Update, and in the Update settings section of the panel, clicking on the Restart options link.
A new screen will show up, like so.
Here you can use a custom restart time that can be used to temporarily override active hours, and schedule a custom time to finish installing any updates your PC is tasked to deploy.
It only becomes active when you have an update to install and a restart scheduled.
Choose a time and day, and your machine will restart at that exact moment.
