Stop That Annoying “Restart Now” Popup After Windows Update

July 13th 2006 19:00
Sometimes after an automatic (or semi automatic) update in Windows XP, you get the annoying “Restart Now” option that keeps popping up. Well, there’s a way to stop that message from popping up. Just go to your “Control Panel – Administrative Tools - Services”. You will then see a list of services on the right. Look out for “Automatic Updates”. Once you found it, right click it and select “Stop”. This should get rid of the popup until you really want to restart your PC.

Yes, but it says that it will stop the updating service at all. Means that it won't even notify for the updates itself.

In the Start Menu go to Run type gpedit.msc
Now a Group Policy editor will open. In this window navigate to: Computer Configuration -> Administrative Template -> Windows Components -> Windows Update
Double click on No auto-restart for scheduled Automatic Updates installations
In the settings window Choose Enabled and click OK
Double click on Re-prompt for restart with scheduled installations
In the settings window Choose Disabled and click OK
Close Group Policy Editor

That's working MUCH better !
