Windows 10 AU automatic restarts for updates

Hello,

I've recently upgraded to Windows 10 Anniversary Update and today when I was watching a movie streamed through the Serviio server, the computer rebooted to do updates. I have then found out that this Anniversary Update changed the setting from a "do not automatically update" to "Active hours"(and only a maximum of 12 hours in one day can be selected), it also says that it will check if you are using the computer at the time before restarting, however it clearly didn't notice the serviio server streaming the movie.

Is it possible to make Serviio while streaming visible to Windows 10 update system, so it prevents it from rebooting while watching a movie?
As a workaround I was able to disable the updates through Group Policy, however this option is not available on Home versions.

Thank you
