In another post I gave a solution to stop the reboot pop-up, now I’ve found something better: How to stop Windows asking after the update installations!

To do this just follow the next steps:

1) Go to Start > Run (or WindowsKey+R!).
2) Write gpedit.msc and execute it.
3) Go to Local Computer Policy > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update.
4) Enable “No auto-restart for scheduled Automatic Update installation” (double click and Enable on the window that will popup).
5) Reboot.

From now on when a windows update automatically installs it won’t ask you to reboot. :)

Update!: Alternative way, because there are users that won’t have gpedit.msc (the Home versions of Windows for example), by editing the registry:

1) Go to Start > Run (or WindowsKey+R, I repeat!).
2) Write regedit and execute it.
3) Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU
4) In the REG_DWORD "NoAutoRebootWithLoggedOnUsers" modify the value with the value 1.
5) Reboot.
