No, it doesn't auto-reboot. You get prompted for updates and you can keep delaying them forever if that's what you wish.

I does for me with the default edition.

There is no way to delay it indefinitely.

I tried editing the registry, the parameters, everything... Literally everything I could find online.

The other non Home edition may allow to disable them.

It allows me on the Pro edition without any hacks.

Which is notably not the Home edition.

True but as that's the only one I'm using, that's the only one I can speak of.

Anyway, they're both free, so for personal use might as well use the Pro, instead of limiting yourself to the pesky Home Edition.

W11 Home auto-reboots for us by default, but I think there's a toggle to disable it. Until they reset that setting of course :)

It's not though. It has some great improvements on some fronts (no auto-reboot, built-in terminal, WSL already setup, better multi-monitor and dock-undock behavior) and worse on other fronts like the start menu.
