I can't even change the time when it reboots, it is greyed out as well. I applied the disabled option.
Thanks!
Is there a way I can just change the time the system restarts without changing anything else?
Reg key?
Where you able to get the automatic updates turned off?

Im not sure I understand what your asking as far as the time. Are you asking if you can change the time in general or are do you have the computer set to restart at a specific time?
Was your computer a part of the network before ?
It seems to me you have some group policy overriding the
local one.That means you have to remove all the remnants
of such a policy.Use gpedit.msc and check all ....
also make sure your antivirus / firewall is not blocking these options....
You can also find 'services' and see what you have under 'windows update' ....
You can also disable them over there (see the pic):
