Issue

I'm using Windows XP and after each update (minor), I'm prompted to restart my PC.

This is quite annoying, I've already install the important security updates and I don't require the automatic update feature for the time being.

Solution

To disable the Automatic update feature:

Click on Start
Run
Type the following command:
- ```
net stop wuauserv
```
Of course if you want to restore this service do a:
- ```
net start wuauserv
```
