Anyway to turn off "you must restart your pc" messages?

    Small annoyance, but is there a way to turn off those messages, I don't mind it saying it once, then I click the "restart later" button and soon after it tells me the same thing. I f**king know I have to restart, WTF do they have to keep at you, and if I go away from the PC a timer counts down and could restart it for me and lose work without me knowing.

    It should let you change it to "remind me in 4 hours", which ain't too bad.

    There's probably a more eloquent fix, but I just hit "shutdown -a" whenever that happens on Windows.

    It just had a dialog box with "restart now" and "restart later" (or similar). It was after an automatic update. Later last night my mate had the very same thing, and it did mess up something, I think he was transferring lots of files to a HD and it just restarted while he was away.

    I tried that but nothing happened, maybe I didn't do it right, I just sent to the start->run and typed it in.

    I just change from automatic updates to "download updates, but let me choose when to install them". But I am guessing I will get similar popups "you have updates, do you want to install them now or later" and keep getting reminders over and over...

    Press the Windows key + R and type

    net stop wuauserv

    That'll stop the Automatic Updates service and get rid of the restart prompts.
