Can it set it to reboot only between say 10 PM and 4 AM?
Yes, you control that.
And Snapshot at 9:50 PM (assuming this is a VM).

@dafyre Yes the Windows 1803 patch broke our database and caused EdExpress to go wonky for quite a while until I disabled updates. As soon as Windows went to 1809 it all started working again. So just an fyi for you @dafyre if you had any troubles with this too.
EdExpress is one of two pieces of software I'm glad I don't have to deal with anymore... (EdConnect is the other, lol).

@dafyre Ugghh lol and of course they are used in tandom. I support these and I hate it lol

I no longer have to do anything but snicker anytime somebody mentions them now, ha ha... so.... *snicker, snicker.

@Dashrender Yes. I may have the version wrong but I did have to do that and then I disabled updates until 1809 tested well at my workstation.

@dafyre lol and I can't wait for that same day

1803 is not a patch. That's a new OS version. While it is handled through Windows Updates, it's not the same as a patch.

Has anyone tried this with 2019?

Not yet.
