I am perfectly happy with my computer letting me know when there are updates that need to be installed and resetting is necessary. I want it to continue doing that.

I do not, however, want it to do so by informing me that if I don't stop it from restarting in the next X minutes it will do so automatically, so that if I happen to be away from the computer when the 10 minute warning pops up, I lose any unsaved work. I want restarting to be an opt-in feature, not an opt-out feature. My computer should never restart without me approving it.

Is there a way to change my Microsoft Windows 7 settings to that it does not restart without my approval?

  • You just go to the Windows Update settings and set it to not automatically install. Where are you getting stuck exactly? – Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 Nov 27 '14 at 18:44
  • @Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 I may be mistaken about this, but I thought that not all updates require rebooting. I want it to still install those updates without rebooting. (Plus I didn't realize it was that simple.) – Y     e     z Nov 27 '14 at 18:48
  • @Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 Thanks - the accepted answer there was exactly what I was looking for. – Y     e     z Nov 27 '14 at 18:59
