Hi,
You cannot disable the active hours "completely", but you can configure the automatic reboot settings with Group Policy Objects (GPOs) or with registry keys:

hey,
thanks for answer. we have all desired settings in place but occasionally someone makes a mistake of leaving 2016 box with updates installed and pending reboot which leads to an incident where server just reboots itself.
it's hard to believe that this setting was implemented intentionally.
who would ever want their servers to reboot automatically?
I guess we will keep searching until we find a way of getting rid of this since we have more and more 2016 boxes.

I understand your concern, while there's no real way of disabling the active hours there are people who've come up with workarounds, you'll find one over here for example:
