Yesterday, I got the following message:


"Updating your computer is almost complete. Your computer needs to be
restarted for the updates to take effect. Windows will restart your
computer automatically in 5:00 minutes."


I saved what I was doing, rebooted and had the updates installed only
to find myself getting the same message today. *Why? *What is the
point of hibernate if Windows is going to start requiring you reboot
your computer every day?


I'd just assume not disable automatic updates, but this having to
reboot every day business is ridiculous.


Set Automatic Update to a "notify me" option instead of letting the
updates install themselves. *MS publishes updates constantly.


I thought MS only released updates on the so-called "patch tuesdays"?:
