Automatic pissing updates
Discussion
I starting to get really fcked off now.
I am trying to write an essay, and every 15 mins this bloody thing pops up saying "restarting in 5 mins" and then counts down, and I have the option of "Restart now", "restart later" or it just runs down to zero and restarts itself.
I got one two days ago, and then about five days before that, and I reboot but then a few days later another comes. How can I get rid of it? I'm sure it's not that important and last time I did it it said the DLL had been relocated or something each time I start up.

I'm sure that's a really helpful response to the OP.
Anyway I think what detchibe suggested should help.

Does anyone know how frequently Windows Updates are released? It could be that as your machine is automatically updating, it's getting all the updates as soon as their released which would explain why the restart box comes up every few days. Although, this might not be correct, I seem to remember reading somewhere that updates are released on the first Thursday of every month or something.
Can you see what updates it's trying to install? Another possibility is that the updates are getting 'stuck' and not installing each time. The best way to sort this is to rename C:WindowsSystem32Catroot2 to C:WindowsSystem32Catroot2.old and then run a full update from the Windows Update website.
