When you see this, you think… Death? For example, if you’re working on something, and go eat dinner and this comes up… You’re hosed. Closes everything out, messes you up bad.

In fact, someone sued microsoft over this.

Now, how to kill it? I found an interesting article at LifeHacker on how to do this.

Here are the steps:

  1. Go into start, click Run
  2. Type in gpedit.msc, press enter
  3. Make sure you’re in Local Computer Policy (Left coloum, to the top)
  4. Choose Computer Configuration, in the window on the right
  5. Click on Administrative Templates
  6. Click on Windows Components
  7. Click on Windows Update
  8. Double click on Re-prompt for restart with scheduled installations
  9. Choose "Disabled", and click ok.
