    Your System Has Been Automatically Updated.... HOW DO I STOP THIS!!!


    I searched online for this once before after losing work when Windows restarted in the middle of the night ALL BY ITSELF. And I found a tutorial that supposedly fixed this but it didn't work... and it STILL does it... and it happened to me again last night.

    How do I keep Windows from restarting??? I want to choose WHEN updates are installed certainly and WHEN MY COMPUTER IS RESTARTED? DEFINITELY!!!!

    You'd think that would just be a given!

    You're welcome,

    It should work, without any registry changes.

    Post back and let us know.
