How to *disable* automatic reboots in Windows 10?

Many of the solutions to prevent windows 10 from doing their auto reboot updates are not working anymore. The solutions posted here:
No, this question is not a duplicate. Hence: "It's 2019"
How to *disable* automatic reboots in Windows 10?
Are outdated and just a waste of time for everyone to try as they do NOT work anymore. It's 2019, what tricks does Microsoft have up their sleeves to force an auto shutdown update?
Many people seeking help want to disable updates completely. Not just auto reboot. Please do not post answers that only disable auto reboot. Alot of the times when windows update with new patches, it removes certain programs that it deems unnecessary. In my case it constantly removes my work's vpn software. wtf!? I just want to disable updates completely!
What are the latest ways of preventing further updates on Windows 10? Home and Pro versions. Solutions that don't need to install software would be best, but also installing 3rd party software can be possible too for the non-tech savvy.

We are always glad to help, but there are a lot of answers within that referenced question with numerous up-votes. At the risk of posing an obvious question, did you actually try all of them before you dismissed them as "outdated and a waste of time for everyone?" For example, this answer was recently awarded a bounty for being an outstanding contribution, so that would seem to imply that it works rather well. Did you try it?

As a matter of fact, I manage three domains that encompass more than 12,000 Windows 10 Enterprise workstations (as well as maintaining eight Windows 10 Pro machines on my home network), so I guess you could say that I use Windows 10.

Just as a comment: Saving your files would have prevented the data loss. Windows needs to self-manage, and you CAN define work hours to prevent it from performing the self-maintenance tasks during the times you're likely to be using it. Rather than blaming the OS for taking good care of itself, be more careful to save your work. Also, talk to your work about why their VPN software keeps being removed on updates. They either have a fix for that, or they need to figure out a fix for it.

The correct course is not to say "The old question is wrong, let's have a 2019 edition!" If the old question has answers that no longer work then you can comment or raise a bounty. One of the specific bounty reasons is "Current answers are outdated" which would be a good way to get the community involved in resolving issues.

This tool from Greatis (https://greatis.com/blog/stopupdates10) lets you turn updates on and off easily, I've been using it for quite awhile. After an update's been released I wait for all the crap to get sorted out, you know, things like it deleting ALL your personal files, then install the update once it's been fixed.
