rem Howto:
rem This script works by adjusting your 'Active hours'. You should schedule it to run every hour with the task scheduler.
rem To not get an "annoying popup" when it gets run you need to be running it "whether user is logged in or not"
rem You probably also need administrative privileges to edit the registry
for /f %%i in ('powershell "((get-date).Hour+18) %% 24"') do set startHour=%%i
for /f %%i in ('powershell "((get-date).Hour+12) %% 24"') do set endHour=%%i
reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\UX\Settings /v ActiveHoursStart /t REG_DWORD /d %startHour% /f
reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\UX\Settings /v ActiveHoursEnd /t REG_DWORD /d %endHour% /f
