  1. How to Keep Windows from Automatic Restart After Updates


    I would think this would be easy to find an answer to, but so far, I've had trouble. Our situation is we're using a windows 10 laptop to power a laboratory instrument. We absolutely cannot have Windows forcing a restart when user is logged on. The laptop is standalone i.e. not attached to a domain. I've attempted to use local group policy settings to force Windows to prompt for restart only, but those do not seem to have any effect. We're producing many of these instruments, so I need a durable solution for our customers. We cannot use the standard delay function offered in settings. These things can run for 24 hours continuously for days. We don't mind a nagging prompt to force the customer to eventually deal with it, but we absolutely can't have it auto-restart.


    We're open to other licenses of Windows rather than the standard retail version within reason, if that's the only way around it. Please help me understand what the right path is to getting this done right.

    :)

    windows automatic updates

    i have some questions about the windows automatic updates in windows xp pro w sp/2. ive got about forty updates they recommend , mostly for security but i only installed two today. after installing them i found them in my add/remove programs in the control panel, if i add all these updates that is a lot of space on my hd almost 1 gig. i thought that updates just updated files and not created new programs. should i innore all these update suggestions from microsoft?
