This popup appears after Windows updates have been (partially) installed:
It is incessantly annoying and I'd like to prevent it form appearing. There are plenty of articles that recommend disabling it using gpedit
, but I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium and gpedit
does not exist on that version.
I've used a registry modification to disable the computer from actually restarting on it's own (usually there is a countdown timer), but the above popup remains. I just want Windows to install important updates and leave me alone until I decide to restart on my own time.
I don't want to turn off Windows Update, so is there any other means of turning this reminder off?
Windows Update
. You could upgrade to Windows 8 the update behavior changed significantly. Microsoft realized that if your using your computer the installation of the update could wait. It will wait up to 2 days before presenting a similar prompt.
