     Ignored, because this is about Windows. (Not to mention that   
   'Followup-To:' is nearly always inappropriate.)

     I think you've heard wrong. Never happened to me (for two systems,   
   Windows 10 and 11) and I can't think of a scenario where it (your set   
   'Active hours') could be ignored.   
      
     You also can set Windows Update to pause for 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 weeks and   
   you can reset that pause before it runs out, so you can pause   
   indefinitely.
