Your computer stays protected from threats without worrying about it… but if it's 3am and I'm trying to play a video game, the last thing I want is for the automatic updates to pop up and remind me every 5 minutes that I need to reboot, interrupting my game… Drives me crazy! If you want to temporarily disable this popup message and delay rebooting, you can go about it one of two ways. I'm a command line junkie, so I just type this into a command prompt (make sure you use the quotes) [/FONT][FONT=Garamond,Garamond]net stop "automatic updates" [/FONT][FONT=Garamond,Garamond]Or you can open Control Panel \ Administrative Tools \ Services and click Stop on automatic updates. Do not disable the automatic updates service, just stop it. The next time you start up your computer, it will restart. [/FONT]</blockquote>
