How to get rid of automatic update on window 7
Windows Update's automatic reboot can be one of the most annoying
"features" in Microsoft operating systems. While it's a bit less pushy
with Windows Vista and 7, allowing users to postpone the restart for up
to four hours, you may not be at the computer to intercept the first or
subsequent notifications.
In many cases this isn't a major deal. However, it can be frustrating if you step away from a work session and come back to a freshly rebooted system. You might also be downloading a large file or letting a lengthy operation run while away from your PC, expecting it to be finished upon return.
Windows XP: Open Start > Run and enter the following command: net stop "automatic updates" OR sc stop wuauserv. You can also suspend the process with PsSuspend and the command pssuspend wuauclt.
Windows Vista/7: Open Start and search for cmd. Right click on the found program and click Run as administrator. Enter the command net stop "windows update" and you're good to go. Likewise, you can suspend the process with PsSuspend and the command pssuspend wuauclt.
