Maybe one day we will have Windows XP Professional (or Vista Professional) and Windows XP Consumer (Vista Consumer) with all these things sorted out.
Thanks God someones knew how to remove that annoying crap.
If you have XP MCE then you have a GP editor like XP Pro. XP Home users are still screwed.
Great tip! Thanks for sharing.
The linux fanboys posting their favourite distros as a solution to this nag should go back to troubleshoot their sh make scripts and their dependencies and stfu.
Nags.
That registry fix for us home users seems good. I canāt believe Iāve been using XP for this long and havenāt ever looked into fixing this annoyance. Thanks for the help.
My system not long standing at least 10 minutes. It frequently get restarted. So I couldnāt do any work.
how to I solve this problem.
NOW ITS GREAT BEING WITH YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND PLEASE CONTINOUS. AND WITH MY BEST WISHES.
Operating systems SHOULD NOT require reboots to remain safe. As these machines become more powerful, people are multitasking on machines more and more. I often have many windows and projects open, and work goes on for weeks. I expect the machine to stay in that state for a long time, just as the contents of my desk are laid out to accomodate a continuous flow of work. Losing work is the worst outcome, second to the inconvenience of re-opening everything to try to pick off from where you left.
The service tip works well. Maybe someday Microsoft will develop an operating system that does not require reboots in order to remain secure.
Great!
I just lost a whole day of work because this stupid automatic restart.
I have a slightly different version of the problem, and I wonder if all of you can help me. Background: I maintain four public PCs in a scanning lab. They all have Deep Freeze on them to prevent users from messing things up. I have had to turn automatic updating off because every time the machine reboots, the updates get downloaded afresh and this slows down everything else to a ridiculous degree ā unacceptable to users. I manually go in and do the updates every week.
My question: How do I get rid of the annoying little Red Shield pop-up message that says āYour Computer might be at risk. Automatic Updates is turned off. Click this balloon to fix this problem.ā?? It comes up constantly. If you click on the X to kill it, it pops right back up within a few seconds. Insanely annoying!
I donāt read this regularly, but if you have an answer, please email aan3q@virginia.edu
Thank you so much that helped allot.
When this automatic shutdown dialog box appears: StartMenu-RUN-SHUTDOWN -A. This disables the automatic shutdown timer, amd allows you to have control over when and if your machine restarts, the way it should be! Note-other methods in this discussion may solve the automatic shutdown from occurring in the future, but this directly fixes it when it occurs, and bugs the hell out of you.
thanx man
Thank god for this, windows and their dialog boxes are just a joke.
i wonder how much time we waste due to their crappy OS.
For the love of pete. This has been the thorn in my side of another thing to not have to deal with.
God Bless you.
Hey guys!
I have found the way how to minimize the frequency of this shit!
Dunno whether anyone of you have found it before cause i didnt read the forum through.But anyway:
go RUN-gpedit.msc-Computer Configuration-Admin Templates-Windows Components-Windows Update and there is a line starting with āRe-prompt for restartā¦ā You all should enable this feature and set the interval for a period you want. In case of mine it was set to the amount of a day in minutes so once a day it is not so embarassing now.
Cheers

THANK YOU!!!
What a fucking piece of shit window.
Itās just poor coding.
It just is.
Was working last night on a complicated CG project with tons of windows open. I get on a call for 5 MINUTES, walk into the next room, come back, and ta-da, and blank desktop.
Thanks for the fix. Death to microsoft.
The Window should have a 3rd option labelled āGo To Apple.comā.
thank god! Finally some peace from that thing!
to stop it for a session only, open CMD and enter: net stop āautomatic updatesā
