If you’re a Windows user, surely the prompt window that warns you that the system needs to be restarted has annoyed you a couple of times. Thanks to this useful tip by Daniel Turini you can now configure it so it won’t warn you for long periods of time, or so it won’t warn you at all.

Now, to get rid of it:
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 (I re-configured it for 720 minutes, which means I’ll be asked twice on a work day), or completely disable it.
