Windows updates reboots

Hi,

Sometimes I find that if I leave Windows Vista and 7 unattended, they install Windows updates and reboot the system.

Is there a way to stop my PC rebooting once it's installed Windows updates?

TIA.

Colin.

Look for Options in the update section

If all else fails - turn off the automatic part and manuallly check for updates when its a good time for you.

Yes, you can make it so the updates download but install only when you choose to install them.

Look for "Windows Update" in control panel.
