    Stop Windows From Restarting

    Windows has just done an auto update. Now it wants to restart every 5 minutes. Apparently its an emergency and it wont allow any delays unless I constantly tell it not to. Can I stop this? Its annoying.

    you don't have to turn it on again, you can just do it manually.

    Or you can get the relevant updates and hotfixes manually from microsoft.com, and stuff the silly update tool.
