Disable Windows Update Restart Popup

So Windows downloaded an installed a new set of updates on your computer! Everything worked perfectly and right after everything is done, Windows prompted your to restart the computer and you chose to restart later probably because you have tons of opened windows and you prefer to restart later.

Few minutes later you received that prompt again, and you kept on receiving it every few minutes… It’s annoying we know! But guess what, we’ll provide you with a way to disable it and continue working normally on your computer.


1-Click on Start –> Run, type “cmd” and hit enter.
2-Type “net stop wuauserv”

This will stop the automatic update service and thus disables the restart prompt from showing up. However, this will not disable the service from starting again next time your boot your computer to allow receiving new updates. This can be pretty handy sometimes!
