- Win Update: Requests 'restart' every 10 minutes?
- Posted by Porn Addict on January 6th, 2006
I downloaded and installed one update this morning.
There is now a popup every ten (10) minutes: "Restart Now" - "Restart
Later"
I will NOT be able to restart for another four (4) to six (6) hours.
I do I turn off this annoying popup?
For future reference: Should I simply turnoff "Windows Update"? I think
it will "bug me to death" if I choose NOT to download a newly found update?
Thanks

You can change the setting in Start, Control Panel, Automatic Updates
to "Notify me but do not automatically download and install". This is less
assertive.
I then select Start, Help and Support, Keep your Windows up-to-date
with Windows Update, Custom.
However, to avoid your "annoying popup" the simplest remedy is to
always reboot after using Windows Update ( and told to do so ) so that
the installation is completed.
