Ask a question
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
