Default Computer Question: How do I shut off auto-restart after a windows update?
I've got Windows Vista and every time there's an update, my computer downloads it, and restarts whether I want it to or not. Most of the time it happens while I'm away from it. The thing that bothers me most is that I have other programs and webpages open, and it'll shut those down automatically and restart without my ok.
