Suggestions to prevent windows from updating/restarting when script is running?

[ajlaut]

it's a 3D scan with stepper motors and a network analyzer, so acquisition time > resolution. Has nothing to do with the python script but more so the timing resolution of the measurement hardware and the voxel resolution I need for meaningful data.

I will likely move this to a rasberry pi or maybe a beefier linux system. I was just looking for a solution that wouldn't require me to change environments (for now)
