After loosing some data thanks to the nice Microsoft autmatic update reboot. I've decided to disable these stupid reboots. Who ever invented this "great" feature should be kicked very hard!!
Disable Reboots for This Run
Execute this at the commandline:
net stop wuauserv
Or a bit more user friendly
net stop "automatic updates"
Much Better is to disable the updates
Start, Run "gpedit.msc" to bring up the group policy editor. Then navigate to the folder
Local Computer Policy ( Dutch versions: Beleid voor lokale computer) Computer Configuration ( Dutch versions: Computerconfiguratie ) Administrative Templates ( Dutch versions: Beheersjablonen ) Windows Components ( Dutch versions: Windows-onderdelen ) Windows Update
There are two settings and both will work, so it's your choice. Either enable No auto-restart for schedule Automatic Updates installations or set Re-prompt for restart with scheduled installations to a long time interval, like 1440 minutes.
