Post details: That pesky reboot reminder gets splatted

15/09/06

That pesky reboot reminder gets splatted English (UK)

Owen Blacker via email (who got it from his mate James, who got it from...?):

Tired of having your PC reboot itself to install a pointless DRM patch? Tired of having to keep tell Windows that “Reboot later” means more than five minutes later? I imght just be your new friend..

Start | Run gpedit.msc
Computer Configuration | Administrative Templates | Windows Components | Windows Update

The two settings you want are:

No auto-restart for scheduled Automatic Updates installations (set to Enabled); and
Re-prompt for restart with sceduled installations (set to Enabled with as high a number as you’d like)

This has been a public service announcement. :o)

Sometimes when there's a lot going on in your head its nice to get it out on paper. Paper's too old fashioned so this programmer does it online. I'm 25 living in London and trying to develop an intelligent opinion about how the world should work. I'm not all there yet, so do help me out.
