7. In the "Behavior" section, use the "Disable Reboot After Updates" option to disable this option.

Additionally, we suggest familiarizing yourself with other functions of this application. Perhaps among them you will find the settings of appearance or defined system parameters you are interested. If there is no desire to use third-party software to achieve the goal, go to familiarization with the following ways.

Method 2: Configuration Options "System Failure"

An option with changing the configuration option "System failure" is the only solution to cancel the PC reload during critical errors. Everyone who wants to cancel this action should be performed:

1. Open the Start menu and click on the corresponding button responsible for the transition to the "Control Panel".

Method 3: Editing Local Group Policy

We will specify that the "Local Group Policy Editor" is missing in Windows 7 home basic / extended and initial, so all subsequent recommendations are suitable only for holders of assemblies that have not entered this list. This editor is an improved graphic version of the registry editor, allowing users much faster and easier to customize certain parameters. Now we use this component to disable the automatic restart of the PC after installing updates.

1. Run the "Perform" utility with the clamping of the standard hot key Win + R, then write in the input field the gpedit.msc command and press the ENTER key.



2. Wait until the editor is launched. It may take a few minutes to it, which directly depends on the speed of the computer. Here in the "Computer Configuration" section, select the "Administrative Templates" directory.

You can return to the "Local Group Policy Editor" to change the parameter if it is necessary. Worders of those versions of OS, who do not have this application, we advise you to refer to the following method.

Method 4: Editing Registry Parameter

The option using the registry editor will be appropriate only in that situation if there is no local group policies on the PC, since it will be a little more difficult to edit it. The whole point is to manually search and edit the parameter, and in the absence of it will have to create it manually.

1. Run the "Run" utility (Win + R), where to enter the REGEDIT and press the ENTER key.



2. Go along the path of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ POLICIES \ Microsoft \ Windows \ WindowsUpdate \ AU. If the ultimate folder does not exist, create it manually using the built-in options. To do this, click on the WindowsupDate folder with the right mouse button and select "Create"> "Section". Cover it as "AU" - within this folder and further actions will occur.



3. Lay in the root of the folder parameter "reg_dword" with the name "NoautorebootWithLoggedonusers". Double-click on it to the LKM to go to edit. If the parameter is absent, inside the AU folder, right-click, hover the mouse over the "Create"> "DWORD parameter (32 bits)" and set the name "noautorebootwithloggedonusers".



4. Set the value "1", and then save the changes.

Always after editing the registry, you must restart the computer so that all changes take effect. Do it after completing the work or now, if any documents do not need to preserve.

Method 5: Disable the task in the "job scheduler"

We delivered this option to the last place, as the task with a reboot of the computer is not always added to the Planner menu, in addition, this editing will only help in a single case while downloading updates. When they start set the next time, the task will be activated again. If it is satisfied with it, you will need to perform such steps:

1. Go to "Control Panel" convenient for you, for example, opening the "Start" menu.



2. Here, move to "Administration".



3. Choose a classic job scheduler application.



4. Expand the library, sometimes clicking on it LKM.



5. Select a directory called "Microsoft".



6. Open the subfolder "Windows".



7. Lay here the "UpdateOrchestrator" directory and highlight it.



8. The REBOOT file is displayed in the right menu. Click on the PCM to display options.



9. In the context menu, specify the "Disable" option.

Now you can be sure that with the current installation of updates, the computer will not be rebooted, and the notification will appear with the proposal to do it manually. However, we will repeat once again that, with the next scan, the task will be created again.

As you can see, there are completely different options for disabling the automatic reboot of the operating system. You can familiarize yourself with everyone to stay at some one, which will seem as simple as possible to quickly and effectively cope with the task.
