If Windows XP Professional is bugging you to reboot after an automatic update download, clicking “later” only gives you ten minutes before you’re bugged again. Here’s how to stop the nagging, and the solution is not to turn automatic updates off; it’s all ready too late for that. If you have Windows XP Home Edition, you’ll have to follow these instructions instead.
thank god. i needed some info on this. sometimes ill be doing something and accidently hit enter or whatever right as the popup comes up nagging me to reboot which makes me accidently reboot in the middle of work. grrr.
