I’ve had that happen, too. What I do is turn off automatic updates in the control panels section under the Start menu. Either go into the “Automatic Updates” or “Security” programs which are listed in the control panels selection. I tell the update program to tell me if there are updates, but not to load them automatically. That way I can choose when to do the update, not when Windoze chooses to do the update which is right when I’m in the middle of something important. It will remind you, again, believe me. I’ve never seen an operating system update so much. Dave On Jun 4, 2012, at 5:02 AM, Patrick Wiggins wrote:
Most here may know I'm primarily a Mac person. But I do need to use an old Windows machine to run my camera and mount until Software Bisque finishes converting their software to OSX.
Under Windows I occasionally (like right now) have a problem in that this message pops up:
+++++ Automatic Updates
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 15:00 minutes.
Do you want to restart your computer now? +++++
Is there some way to keep that message from appearing?
As it is, once the massage comes up I don't dare leave the computer unattended for more than a few minutes lest it restart itself causing the camera and mount control software to shut down in the middle of a run.
Ideas?
