So I came in this morning and Windows 7 had rebooted my PC. I had 7.5GB of applications running across two operating systems (Ubuntu running in a Virtualbox - connected to lots of servers for work). This made me very mad. I had updated Windows Update to only download the updates, and let me choose when to install them. I had installed them - and suffered the annoying "Reboot now for Important updates to be installed" and I kept postponing it for 3 hours. The last thing I expected was to come in and find that windows got fed-up asking me and decided to reboot anyway.
Well, I found a way to stop it - and thought I'd share it here as Google seems to return mainly crap about the BETA version rebooting when it's about to expire. Convenient me thinks - this will mask any REAL issues with Windows 7 rebooting.
Anyway - here's the link: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/prevent-windows-update-from-forcibly-rebooting-your-computer/
