Home doesn't have/can't run gpedit.msc .....

It's a really old tip and has been around for a while. Also, the gpedit is, for a lot of settings - just a front end to the registry. Which means you should be able to do most of it with the registry editor even in Home.
Try this:
1) Save the following to a notepad and save as a .reg file
2) Double click the .reg file to merge to registry

PHP Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
                
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREPoliciesMicrosoftWindowsWindowsUpdateAU]
"RebootRelaunchTimeoutEnabled"=dword:00000000
"NoAutoRebootWithLoggedOnUsers"=dword:00000001 


_{This solution is quite common the web .. so credit to the first person to write it down..}
