Hi!

Last week I upgraded a physical server from 2012R2 to 2016 and until yesterday everything worked fine. We have a few group policy to prevent automatic restart of the servers if a new update(s) is available:

- No auto-restart with logged on users for scheduled automatic updates installations
- Re-prompt for restart with scheduled installations
- Configure automatic updating: 3 - Auto download and notify for install

These settings just working fine on the 2012R2 servers, but yesterday afternoon this server restarted without administrator consent. The event log contains this entry:

The process C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe ("servername") has initiated the restart of computer "servername" on behalf of user NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM for the following reason: Operating System: Service pack (Planned)
Reason Code: 0x80020010
Shutdown Type: restart

Is there anything that I can do, to prevent this behavior?
