I want to disable the default reboot after Windows runs unattended updates as this often prevents my overnight backup from running.
I have tried using the gpedit.msc routine to access the Local Computer Policy Editor but apparently that does not work in Win 7 Home Premium which I have.
Is there a manual way I can disable the reboot function?
Hello Franco, and welcome to Seven Forums.
The Windows 7 Home Premium edition doesn't include the Local Group Policy Editor. However, you can use OPTION ONE in the tutorial below to disable the automatic restart for Windows Updates instead.
Windows Update - Enable or Disable Automatic Restart
Hope this helps,
Shawn
Hmmm, you can click the postpone button to prevent reboot.
Doesn't this work? Or do u want to disable this prompt screen too?
Brink - thanks for that link, I'll give that a try.
EzioAuditore - that is fine if I am sitting in front of the PC when it happens but the problem is occurring when the PC is unattended, e.g. overnight when I want my backup or virus scan routine to run.
