TEMPORARILY DISABLE "RESTART NOW" DIALOG FROM XP'S AUTOMATIC UPDATES - Learn Coolest Computer Hack Crack tips and tricks

Automatic Updates is a great feature. Your computer stays protected from threats
without worrying about it… but if it's 3am and I'm trying to play a video game, the
last thing I want is for the automatic updates to pop up and remind me every 5
minutes that I need to reboot, interrupting my game… Drives me crazy!



If you want to temporarily disable this popup message and delay rebooting, you can
go about it one of two ways. I'm a command line junkie, so I just type this into a
command prompt (make sure you use the quotes)
net stop "automatic updates"


Or you can open Control Panel \ Administrative Tools \ Services and click Stop on
automatic updates.

Do not disable the automatic updates service, just stop it. The next time you start up
your computer, it will restart.

Note: If you open the Automatic Updates icon in Control Panel, it will automatically
restart the service, which will make the dialog start popping up again.
