Since Windows 10. It is possible to disable it, but Microsoft fought very hard to prevent people from doing so by putting up a ton of road blocks. It was a loudly decried 'feature'.

I'm not sure which update exactly - at least a couple of years ago now, but this was removed for regular updates.

You don't get the forced reboot until your version goes EOL - you'd have to ignore updates for years for that.

Edit: it was may 2019 as per another commenter

I've never, over 3 laptops, had it restart by itself. Not once. Not a single one of them on Home edition, so perhaps that's the issue.

Then again, the "home edition" is the edition that you should use when you are streaming live on twitch to 10,000 people!

It’s happened to me on home edition.

If you intentionally restart you computer every week or two it will never happen to you though. Or set your computer up to not do it.
