Hello loki,

To prevent the automatic reboot you have to reconfigure it to "Download updates
but let me choose wether to install them" or "Check for updates but let me
choose wether to download and install them"

You can not prevent the reboot without being logged on, when the automatic
install of updates is choosen. You can reconfigure the time settings for
the reboot to delay but not stop the automatic reboot.

Best regards
