Can automatic rebooting be disabled on Windows 11 Home? (sh.itjust.works)

There appears to be no straightforward way to permanently stop Windows 11 Home from rebooting on its own after installing updates. I looked for workarounds but so far I have only found a script that has to run on a schedule to block the reboot by changing "working hours". (Link.)

Is that really the best that is possible?

Does this prevent other running programs from getting the WM_CLOSE signal (or whatever the signal sent when the computer tries to shut down is)?

Also, Windows 11 Notepad seems to have no problem closing with unsaved text. I think it saves it to a temporary location. Do I have to get legacy Notepad back? (I've found instructions for doing that.)
