We all just love this donĀ“t we stare


Here is how to get rid of it 3nodding
Quote:
To stop this service, open [Command Prompt] (Start>Run>cmd>Enter) and type the following command sc stop wuauserv. This will not prevent Automatic Updates from starting at the next boot. So don't worry, you'll keep getting Windows updates. Just don't forget to restart eventually.


Or like this:
Quote:
Start / Run / gpedit.msc / Local Computer Policy / Computer Configuration / Administrative Templates / Windows Components / Windows Update / Re-prompt for restart with scheduled installations


Move this to the sub in 2-3 days, I want people to actually see this before you move it. xd

I was complaining about this ALOT in Manji's bar.
But I'm afraid to disable it. Like I've said, it's not my computer.
But for future knowledge, it DOES still update when you turn it off/restart even after disabling right? It doesn't disable updates?

i can see where this is helpful, and this may even deserve getting stickie'd, but i honestly haven't gotten a Windows update in AGES!! xD
this problem is virtually non-existant with me. it only happens when i reinstall a program or game and it tells me to restart >_< seriously, that never made any sense to me in the first place to begin with gonk
