“Add/Remove Snap-in” Click “OK”

At “console1” expand “Local Computer Policy > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components >” click on “Windows Update” and double click on “Configure Automatic Updates” on the right.

At “Configure Automatic Updates” select “Enable” and in the first dropdown menu select “Notify for download and notify for install”

You can change is the amount of time between the nagging popup. There is no way to completely remove this popup if you are doing scheduled updates.
——————————————————————————————————–
If the status is set to Enabled, Automatic Updates will not restart a computer automatically during a scheduled installation if a user is logged in to the computer. Instead, Automatic Updates will notify the user to restart the computer.

Be aware that the computer needs to be restarted for the updates to take effect.

If the status is set to Disabled or Not Configured, Automatic Updates will notify the user that the computer will automatically restart in 5 minutes to complete the installation.

Note: This policy applies only when Automatic Updates is configured to perform scheduled installations of updates. If the “Configure Automatic Updates” policy is disabled, this policy has no effect.

Upgraded to Windows SP3???
Who fooled you into that one?

Btw – try this and you don’t have to install any software:
Click Start, Run and enter the command “net stop wuauserv”

or do it manually:

* Click Start, Run and enter the command “gpedit.msc”
* Select Local Computer Policy->Computer Configuration->Administrative Templates->Windows Components->Windows Update
* Open “Re-prompt for restart with scheduled installations”
* Change the value to max. 1440
* Close the Group Policy Editor
* Click Start, Run and enter the command “gpupdate /force”
