This reminds of my bitching every time I need to restart Windows Vista on my gaming desktop, and think ‘What part of _only download but let me chose when to install the updates_ don’t you understand when I see that exclamation mark on the shutdown button.

What I hate is when windows just does updates and shuts down the computer in the background while I am away from the pc. This happened and I shut off automatic updates. It should be smart enough to figure out that I am doing something with the computer.

GeekAdviser, you can prevent that if in the update options and tell Windows just to download the updates and notify you.

A workaround to prevent having to continuously click “Restart Later”: instead of clicking either of the buttons, just move the irritating window somewhere (I prefer the lower right corner of the screen.)

Easy, dirty. :)
