Pro Tip: "Restart now" message.

Sure some people might know this and it's not really a big deal, but if for some reason u don't want to restart your computer after a windows update, it will keep nagging u every 5 mins, completely disrupting your work and making ur life hell until u restart.

The solution is simple:
  • in the Start menu, pick run and type in "services.msc".
  • in the list you're presented with, look for the "automatic updates" service.
  • right click it, and stop the service.
This will disable the whole auto update thing from windows, and with it, the nag reminder. But don't worry because this service is automatically turned back on every time windows starts.

This way u can just keep working in peace and restart at an appropriate time.
