    A friend of mine got the same problem, his Blender renders take over a full day and there is no way to force windows to be in non-sleep or non-reboot state for over 9-20 hours. I did suggest to him that Benders runs on Linux better. Lets hope he is not deaf.

    Sorry. That counts as a "Business use" of Windows 10. That is disallowed.

    Well don't leave us hanging, man! Has he told Microsoft to bite his shiny metal ass yet?

    Surprise reboots during important work?
    Remember, one can unplug the internet, (or disable wireless), whilst rendering.

    Then the computer will not receive instructions form the mothership.
    Problem solved.
