After node shutdown/reboot command, proxmox starts to shutdown all vms and often windows server vms initiate update procesess, so full shutdown may need 10, 20 or even more minutes. Is there a way to forbid that behaviour, cause at critical conditions like shutdown by UPS command we wouldn't have so much time.
 
You would need to control that at the windows OS side, you can use GPOs if they are on a domain, or local security policy and templates if they are not. But out of the box with no controls, windows will auto update after a time.
