OK, this is a geek moment. Every single person who has ever installed an update for their Windows XP will have encountered this annoying popup box. It’s the popup box that when you have installed all the updates they allow you download, it asks Restart Now/Restart Later and then proceeds to popup every 30 minutes until you finally decide to restart.
Well the answer is here. It’s not new, big, clever, infact it’s really simple and most people dont know about it. Here’s how:
Start / Run / gpedit.msc / Local Computer Policy / Computer Configuration / Administrative Templates / Windows Components / Windows Update / Re-prompt for restart with scheduled installations
You can configure how often it will nag you or completely disable it like I did.
edit: This only works for XP Pro.
Enjoy!
