And this is a reason not to use a Home Desktop OS for that kind of job.
Windows Home and Windows Pro are explicitly not work-station or industrial computing OSes. Windows Home is basically a gaming-OS that you can also have a word-processor and a spreadsheet on. Windows Pro is Windows Home that you can do some remote-work on. Windows Enterprise is the one that lets you run your own Update Server instead of Microsoft's, which lets you schedule updates and manage reboots. (Albeit then you need a competent IT manager.)
The computer running that 3D printer needs to either be on Windows Enterprise, or some other workstation or enterprise OS. Running it from Windows Home or even Pro is asking for trouble.
