Disable Windows Update Reboot


Do you know that windows servers do not take any reboot to install the automatic updates. They are configured to no any reboot after any automatic updates otherwise it will cause problems to the users by halting their services.

we can also disable windows update reboot in Windows 7 
Here it is..




Before we get started, i would like to state, that this should only be used for an emergency situation. It’s a bad practice to use this for production machines, however we have all been in the situation where we just CANNOT reboot. (especially if you have yet to move to server core).

open up the registry editor “regedit” from a command prompt:
navigate to the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto Update\


delete the key folder named “reboot required” and delete the registry key.
from there open the local computer “services”
