Based on what was there, trying to be generally informative for you and anyone else who might be reading it - who may well not have the same level of knowledge.

@mihaid.
This is a dissertation?
it isn't but the post before that was.
I'm afraid that's not correct. What was there, see title of thread, OTA protection is present not absent as you imply in your 50 line post.

disable-ota provides a degree of protection against an OTA update even without the presence of a Disable-OTA schedule entry, and was its entire function originally - as I explained earlier. Your title did not specify that you were referring to the Disable-OTA schedule entry being present, and was not shown in your posts.
Your fundamental problem was that the delinquent half-awake was preventing a boot cycle, so you would be seeing what you reported. This would still not have resulted in an actual OTA search and potential firmware update when you have a Disable-OTA event in the schedule, so it's not a catastrophe.
If the Auto Update event is still present after a proper reboot, then you are also experiencing the problem I have reported HERE (click).
Case closed as far as I am concerned.

The post before was trying to explain to you how it is supposed to work. So criticism of it is a bit churlish, don't you think? Probably not.
